The only video I remember with Don't close your eyes tonight on it was
the.....
"John Denver...A Portrait" and part of the song was in B & W and part
of it was in color.........I ordered mine thru a video sales and rental
store.....most any of them can order one for you.......there are some
posts today re: where to order any thing of Johns and Portrait was
listed..........the price was good too........Portrait was a very good
video and well worth the price..... LuLu

LET ME SHOUT IT!!!!!!!!!! Just the best video of John.....so sexy!!!! this
just might start another one of those threads....I was just saying to someone
last night.....John should have done more like Don"t Close Your Eyes..It is
still a fabulous video....I have worn the tape thread bare I have watched it so
much......He looked so incredible in it....and when he is running thru the
field with his shirt half off and his hair all messy!!!!!!!......yeooooow!!!!
will make you want to rewind and rewind.....and yell "Let it be me!".....After
you see this, you will wonder how he could have thought he wasn't sexy!
Oh ....this video is on the "Portrait" tape and can still be had....Well,
talking about this video is giving me an adrenaline rush....think I will go and
put that tape in right now!!

Peace, Cam

Hi Camille,

I'll join you in SHOUTING too! (so if y'all hear some noise from OK and TX,
you'll know it's just us watching the video again and again and again. LOL)
That is my all time favorite piece of video from anything, anyone.
Yes, he is incredible in the scene running through the field but give me those
bedroom scenes first..........
Time for a cold shower already this morning!


Peace~~~Mary in Oklahoma

I am restraining myself....I am speechless....This is the only video of
his where I lose all control of my thoughts. The video makes me feel
vulnerable....can't watch it and relax....Lorraine

Gee Cam, that is an interesting way of putting it, I have never heard it
called an adrenaline rush before. But boy it sure does make your heart
speed up. His glistening sweaty body...oh honey please......oh no I

John running thru that field with his hair blowing, his shirt
open.......and then.......the bedroom
scene !!!!!!!! MY MY MY.......oh the things dreams (or should I say
fantasies) are made of..........John, John and then more John heee
heeee

I remember John being on the Carson show and talking about that
video......and saying it was the most enjoyable thing he had ever
done.........Well I can see how that may be true for that girl in the
video!!!!

Lou....I just mean that with most of John's videos you can sit, sip on
tea, and be pensive. You can think about the deeper meanings of things
in life, and what you can do to help the environment. On that "Don't
Close Your Eyes" video, I feel like I have no control over what I am
thinking. That worries me. (I also enjoy it just a tad.)
hee,hee...Maybe it is actually good for me....Guess I'll go watch it so
I can find out.....Lorraine

Well said, George. I wanted the E! program, but the E! channel screwed us
again. So one lady offered it to me for $6. Not at all a ripoff. Yet another
said she'd send it to me, as you said, out of the goodness of her heart.

Of course, too much "goodness," and she'd go broke! But bless her! I cannot
even remember her name right now - and I should. THAT makes me feel so
ungrateful.... but I am so blessed!

I just want people to know that when I was trying to get my friend to
tape E! off of her cable tv thing-a-ma-bob, and she couldn't find it at
the last minute (she only has E! in the day time hours), 16 people wrote
me personal emails and without my even asking, offered to tape it for
me. My friend doesn't particularly like JD and when I posted that she
was having trouble getting this taped for me, I had two people write to
me and say they would be willing to make a copy for my friend too. I
told my friend about it, and she could not believe the way we do things
with our cyber family! I can't tell you what this does for someone's
day. I could not believe the thoughtfulness....I didn't even ask,
because I dislike asking people to do things for me....but I have
lightened up quite a bit, and now I let people do stuff for me from this
ng all the time. I have always loved doing stuff for others here, but to
be on the receiving end was difficult for me. I am over that
now.....and it feels so good...Lorraine

It all comes down to the Golden Rule, folks -
Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You.

All you have to do is ask and you shall receive. I cannot in all good
conscience charge for something I need to share. And John's music is something
I MUST share.

(even if I don't want to share him in the DCYE video....LOL!)

John said what her name was, when he was talking about the video on the
Carso
show.......but he also said she was married.....so I guess she was a
actor that was hired for the job........

Mother's side) was a Kelly before she married so...I MAY be related to her, you

I'm Irish but I didn't get THAT kind of luck! LOL! But just as precious is
the luck I did get --- having y'all in my JD family. Ok, that is my mushiness

I would love to get a copy of the E! program! I was out of town when it was on,
and didn't even know about it until I got back. If anyone's willing to make a
copy for me, please email me.

Because John said her name on the Tonight Show when he was telling Johnny
Carson about it. John said "she'll knock your socks off!" and Johnny asked,
"Question is, did she knock YOUR socks off?" And John replied, "Well, in the
video, yes. And maybe a little on the side, too!" Then he said she was a
married woman, had only been married about a year.

John says it on one of his interviews. She was married a year before
they did the video. He grinned very seductively after he said this.

JD talks about her on an interview with Johnny Carson. He really liked her
but she was married.
