Last night went went to Mollie Weaver's concert. 
It was a very informal, unrehearsed concert - like having a group of musicians getting together and jammin'. Mollie has a beautiful voice which came through clear, but she sang some unusual arrangements of songs. Overall a good concert with plenty of energy that went up when Bill Danoff joined them for a couple of numbers.
We went to the nightly sing along at the Mountain Chalet.
At first only one guitar player, a new guy named Ron Matthews, was there but it soon expanded to 3 guitars and a banjo (also a first timer). Ron had a large repertoire of JD songs and wrote one in memory of John's passing. It was a great sing along, with lots of popular songs so we stayed for about an hour, but were fading by midnight so we headed back to our hotel.
This morning we slept in a while, then headed out to
find the location of the picture on the cover of the Rocky Mountain High album. It was a pretty walk along the Roaring Forks river with a clear blue sky and enough sun that Mary left her coat in the car. Just over 1/2 mile down the trail we found the spot! Very nice to see it.
This afternoon's Aspen Meadow concert was supurb! Jake and his crew put on a great, non stop 2 hour concert, playing a great selection of John Denver songs as well as a few of their own. The received several standing ovations, including one for a flute solo rendition of My Sweet Lady.
Tonight is the first Tribute concert and is rumored to have a big surprise.
