Watching the 'John Denver Story' movie, I realized I have only one of his great songs in my library, so off to fix that. While transposing key and attempting to play Annie's Song, I realized for the first time it's in 3/4 (waltz) time :-[ . One online source claimed it was in 6/8 time, and I had to listen and watch his fingers thumb picking the notes to confirm that was incorrect. Mystery solved ... an instrumental intro to the song gets played in 6/8 time, then switches to 3/4 time.
The movie filled in some gaps in the story and how/why some of his songs were written.
Singer song writers like John Denver really blow my mind. I wish I had the talent to compose/write new songs.
