There was once this guitar playing kid at Texas Tech who had a father flying at Reese AFB in Lubbock, Texas.
The kid dropped out of college to try to make it in the music 'bidness.'
His name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr.
People later knew him as John Denver.
I note today that his song Rocky Mountain High is now the state song of Colorado

If I am not mistaken Country Roads may be the state song of West Virginia or maybe it is their car tags say “almost heaven”
anyway, I find it interesting.
I bought a banjo once from an old timer who had great stories about how he used to have Joe Ely, and John Deutschendorf, and Michael Martin Murphey hanging out in his shop till they drove him crazy.
You never know what talent is walking around your town.
