I'm Lou Hazel.

I'm from Amish Country in Rust Belt in Western Pennsylvania.

My family had a um, uh, we still have a farm there, and we've had it for over 100 years.

And, when we have family reunions, John Denver was one of the songs that everyone would sing around a fire, and I can still picture my grandpa singing, "This old farm feels like a long-lost friend."

It's really special.

[tuning guitar] This feels really, feels really great to me.

How you doing?

You good?

[audience applauding] Um, it's such an honor to be here to be asked, um, to play the John Denver Tribute.

My name's Emily Barker, and I am from a little country town in the southwest of Australia called Bridgetown, and if you look it up in the Lonely Planet, it says it's a great place to get your ute serviced or your chainsaw sharpened.

[audience applauding] - This is already the greatest show I've ever played.

[audience laughs] My name uh, my name is Steve Poltz.

So, when I was a kid, right, we had this John Denver record, and on that record was this song called "Grandma's Feather Bed", right?

So, the record, back then, if you would learn a song off the record, you'd have to keep lifting the record up, so I would sit there and uh, lift the record up to try to learn.

But, I lifted it up so many times, the record had a scratch on it.

And so, there's a line in it about homemade butter and bread, but that would skip over to "it was 9 feet high 6 feet wide" so it'll go, "it was 9, it was 9, it was 9, it was 9".

You know, John Deutschendorf, that's his real name, Henry John Deutschendorf, that's not a name meant for stardom.

[laughter] He just looked at a mountain it was like Denver.

So, [chuckles] so I had to do this song.

Would you like to it?

[cheers and applause] [gentle guitar music] ♪ Now when I was a little bitty boy just up off the floor ♪ ♪ We used to go down to grandma's house ♪ ♪ Every month end or so ♪ ♪ We'd have chicken pie and country ham ♪ ♪ And homemade butter on the bread ♪ ♪ But the best darn thing about grandma's house ♪ ♪ Was a great big feather bed ♪ ♪ It was 9 feet high 6 feet wide ♪ ♪ Soft as a downy chick ♪ ♪ It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese ♪ ♪ Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick ♪ ♪ It would hold eight kids and four hound dogs ♪ ♪ And the piggy we stole from a shed ♪ ♪ Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun ♪ ♪ On grandma's feather bed ♪ [gentle guitar music] ♪ Well, after dinner we'd sit around the fire ♪ ♪ And the old folks would spit and chew ♪ ♪ Pa would talk about the farm and the war ♪ ♪ And Granny'd sing a ballad or two ♪ ♪ I'd sit and listen and watch the fire ♪ ♪ Till the cobwebs filled my head ♪ ♪ Next thing I know I'd wake up in the morning ♪ ♪ In the middle of the old feather bed ♪ ♪ It was 9 feet wide and 6 feet high ♪ ♪ Soft as a downy chick ♪ ♪ It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese ♪ ♪ Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick ♪ ♪ It would hold eight kids and four hound dogs ♪ ♪ And the piggy was stole from the shed ♪ ♪ Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun ♪ ♪ On Grandma's feather...♪ [gentle guitar music] - Wooh!

[[gentle guitar music] ♪ Well, I love my ma, I love my pa ♪ ♪ I love granny and grandpa too ♪ ♪ I went fishing with my uncle and I wrestled with my cousin ♪ ♪ And I even kissed Aunt Lou ♪ - Ugh!

♪ But if I ever had to make a choice ♪ ♪ I guess it oughta be said ♪ ♪ That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road ♪ ♪ For grandma's feather bed ♪ ♪ Yeah, I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road ♪ - Now, I might want to reconsider about the gal down the road.

♪ For grandma's feather bed ♪ ♪ It was 9, it was 9, it was 9, it was 9 ♪ ♪ it was 9 feet wide, 6 feet tall ♪ ♪ Soft as a downy chick ♪ ♪ It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese ♪ ♪ Took a whole bolt of cloth from the tick ♪ ♪ It could hold eight kids and four hound dogs ♪ ♪ And the piggy we stole from the shed ♪ ♪ Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun ♪ ♪ On Grandma's feather bed ♪ ♪ Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun ♪ ♪ On Grandma's feather bed ♪ - Wooh!

[cheering and applause] Thank you.

[audience applauding] - Hi, my name is Jobi.

Uh, any of you maybe know this, but I live here in Nashville, and I'm originally from Colorado, so I very much grew up with John Denver's music, um, and I've always just really connected with him as a person.

I am gonna play a song, uh, actually on the "Rocky Mountain High" album.

It's called, "Goodbye Again".

[gentle guitar music] [gentle guitar music] ♪ It's 5:00 this morning and the sun is on the rise ♪ ♪ There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes ♪ ♪ The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone ♪ ♪ And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come ♪ ♪ And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you ♪ ♪ Goodbye again, as if you didn't know ♪ ♪ Goodbye again, and I wish that you could tell me ♪ ♪ Why do we always fight when I have to go?

[gentle guitar] ♪ It seems a shame to leave you now ♪ ♪ That days are soft and warm ♪ ♪ I long to lay me down awhile and hold you in my arms ♪ ♪ I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile ♪ ♪ But other voices beckon me, and for a little while ♪ ♪ It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you ♪ ♪ Goodbye again, as if you didn't know ♪ ♪ It's goodbye again, and I wish that you could tell me ♪ ♪ Why do we always fight when I have to go?

♪ ♪ I have to go and see some friends of mine ♪ ♪ Some that I don't know ♪ ♪ Some who aren't familiar with my name ♪ [gentle guitar] ♪ And it's anyone who will listen to me sing ♪ [gentle guitar] ♪ So if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?

♪ ♪ You think if I were always here, ♪ ♪ Our love would be the same ♪ ♪ As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone ♪ ♪ Lying by your side's the greatest peace I've ever known ♪ ♪ And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you ♪ ♪ Goodbye again, if you didn't know ♪ ♪ It's goodbye again, and I wish that you could tell me ♪ ♪ Why do we always fight when I have to go?

Hi!

My name is Judy Blank, and this is Lizzy Ross, my dear friend.

[cheering and applause] I am an artist from the Netherlands, and uh, back in the Netherlands, John Denver's song, "Country Roads", is a very, very, very big hit to this day, but I discovered a couple of gems on the album, "Back Home Again", which is why we're all here today.

And, this is a song I heard that resonated, and I hope it resonates with you.
