Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Went to college in WV. Love the song, even though the writers used western Montgomery County, MD as their inspiration – just 45 minutes from where I grew up in suburban DC. Nevertheless, every wedding I attended (including my own) that had some college association had Country Roads played during the reception. Such memories.
Was watching a studio ghibli movie w grandson and was surprised when they started playing and singing this – no way!
My aunt and her husband were devotees of folk-acoustic and belonged to informal jam circles. He saw to it that this was played at her wake.
One of my favorite songs – and indeed John Denver one of my favorite artists – of the 1970’s. Have always loved C & W music even when I was a kid.
