Hello everyone,

Yes, there was a show called Sierra based on the lives
of rangers in a fictitious national park (Sierra National
Park). Lots of it was filmed in Yosemite.
It ran for only three months in the fall of 1974.
The theme song was written by John and Lee Holdridge.
I'm not sure who sang it, but it wasn't John.

I have an audio cassette of one of the episodes (taped with
a cheap recorder with the microphone hung in front of the
tv speaker, as i recall ;-} ).

The lyrics to the song were:

Sierra majesty beneath the sky
Sierra wilderness where eagles fly
She is (gives?) my life to me, she is my home
Her children comfort me when I'm alone

Sierra come with me to meet my friend(s)
Sierra learn with me where life began
There is so much to know, so much to see
Come share my mountain home, come share my life with me.

Actually, I have a lot of John's old specials and some
of his guest appearances from about 1972 to the early
1980's, recorded on audio tape. As I said these are
*NOT* good quality recordings, but if anyone is interested
in getting copies of these rarities, drop me an email and
maybe we can work something out. I'd just ask you to send
me a blank tape and S&H expenses.

email me if you're interested.

Denny Brooks sang on All Aboard and was at the Aspen Memorial.
I talked to him in Cerritos CA last year after a JD concert. that was
when they were recording All Aboard.

Wasn't Denny Brooks one of the "Sharks"?

> Denny has sung back up on several John Denver recordings.

When I saw JD in concert in 1986, Denny Brooks and Connie Reeder were
travelling with him and singing back up...boy were they a good team!!!

I believe a singer by the name of Denny Brooks sang the song for the opening of
the show. If memory serves me, John and Denny were friends. I think that

Denny has sung back up on several John Denver recordings.
