My response to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High." The first time I dropped my lowest string Was for Rocky Mountain High Last night I caught a flight To see the fire in the sky Where John found twenty-seven Now I'm turning thirty-five…

Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?

A 12-string guitar instrumental in drop D tuning.

Thought I'd try an improv with two capos to get an open C tuning.

For the RPMC album "Sabbatical"

Been carrying this around since 1982, finally recorded it. Composed when we were expecting our first child, hence the anxiety.

I know, not really a raga. Darrin Kobetich on mandolin.

Dedicated to the great Jack Rose, who left last December.
