Thanks Dan Rather for the feature and the link to this

This was a reason to smile! I’d never heard this fiddle version.

Wait, what??? How did I get to be raised on John Denver, saw him in concert in the 70's with my family, mourned his death with everybody else, and I'm just now seeing him play a violin???
Thanks, Dan Rather, for today's reason to smile.

Another Dan Rather referral!! I was blessed to see John live three times and he never disappointed. His live shows were so much better than the albums... his voice rich, powerful and so melodic. Saw the first concert series at the Cow Palace... then a couple of years later at the Oakland Coliseum, and then up in Reno. His words, especially the lyrics from Looking For Space, got me through some dark times when I was younger and I still love most of his songs. Rippling Water live was my all time favorite performance, along with Calypso. But, seriously, Eagle and the Hawk was amazing... it was all amazing. The world needs him now more than ever and I hope that his spirit inspires us to protect the wild things. Feel so lucky to have witnessed his work personally.

Any John Denver song with his angelic voice makes me smile. Thank you Dan

Loved John, love Dan Rather.

Thanks, Dan Rather, for featuring this song today. What a happy, fun, foot stomping song! John Denver at his best.

Love me some John Denver!! I saw him at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake years ago.

Thank you. I needed that.

Dan Rather sent me: A Reason to Smile. John Denver played at a Canyon, Texas college gymnasium when I was 13 - and juggled! Falling for him all over again.

City girl loves this country boy !

Lucky enough to see him in concert. I cried like a baby when he died.

Normally I listen to punk, but I've got a soft spot for John Denver. Dude was amazing.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I never was a country music fan, but I always loved John Denver, particularly this song. From what I've heard of today's country music, it sounds too much like pop music, and is over sexualized.

I am M Casper the friendly ghost 👻 I am a country boy heh

I thank god im a country boy 😂😂

I absolutely love this song! I heard it as a little girl and it always gave me such a happy feeling. It still does! It NEVER GETS OLD! ❤❤❤

I am so sorry he is gone. The only good part is that he is available here on YouTube thanks to the people who posted his music.

This kind of music isn't usually my thing, but that harmony is spectacular!

a Banger in 2026 !

Awesome song 😎

Im a country girl,love this song always loved john 😊

Just think, patronize certain people, make them feel good and they pay good money while they bust their butts, singers live the life of Riley!
Where he had diamonds and jewels!

this song was indeed from the land of the free..... of course long before Trump

Amen 💖💖🙏🏻💖💖

So Fröhlich und Lebendig

I've always loved John Denvers music 🎶🎶🎶. I just realized how much John Denver and Steve Erwen favor each other so much. Thank God they were both country boys 😊

I'd rather fiddle with my country tool.

Music was so much better then

Beauty 😊 masterpieces

I’m no country boy or even American but this song makes me go line dancing (even I dont know how 😂)

I sing this at the top of my lungs while mowing my pasture. 😂
