“Aspenglow was written about Aspen, which is a resort town in Colorado. They have a celebration every year called Winterskol where many skiers come down the mountain holding torches, thus the Aspen glow.” ~ Songfacts.com
I bought this first as a vinyl album, oh let’s see, probably many decades ago. Smile! I recently saw it in CD form in a Christmas Music Display. I’ve played it several times since then. A gorgeous song filled with beautiful words and sound effects.
MINDING MY P'S WITH Q 
Oh Kathy, you are up- so early.
I would love to visit Aspen but looks like I might not ever.
I am going to listen to the music now.
(PS; I am in office and need to use ear phones)

Yes and the altogether feel of the song gives you the thrill of that song ” Silent night, holy night”.

I’m listening to Aspenglow in the background now. Now John Denver is singing Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. 🙂

Is the singer’s name John Denver too ? To reflect his state ?

Possibly…I’m not sure why he changed it…but I think it was something like Dussendorf, ah just looked it up, I was close…it was Deutschendorf,

That is a mouthful isn’t it. I am sure he did the right thing to make it easier to say for the people who bought, and like me, still buy his music. It shows that what is good can live on beyond a person’s lifetime. I enjoyed your post today Susie.

I guess he had to change it to something easier to pronounce. 🙂

The word Aspenglow has something mystical sounding about it.

It is a beautiful word. I think good music, like good books, is timeless. He was one of my favorite singers ever…always liked Johnny Cash too.

Kathy,
He was the singer of ” Country Roads take me home”. I just found out. They used to sing it a lot in our college.
