丹佛在
南方長大,1964年大學畢業后他遷到
洛杉磯,在城市民謠俱樂部中演唱。第2年他加入了查德·米切爾三重唱組。1969年,丹佛錄製唱片《節奏與原因》。這張唱片中收錄了他自己演唱的《乘著噴氣飛機離去》。丹佛的許多歌曲都廣為人知,如歌曲《
鄉村路帶我回家》和《高高的洛基山》等。
[1] 1974年,丹佛已是美國唱片最暢銷的藝人,當時《陽光照在我肩上》(Sunshine on My Shoulders)和《安妮之歌》(Annie』s Song)這兩首歌在美國排行榜都名列前茅。1976年他開辦了自己的唱片公司。1977年製作了他的第一部電影《噢,老天》(Oh,
God)。此後發行了一系列優秀唱片,如1980年錄製的唱片《親筆簽名》(Autograph),並繼續致力於政治事業。1981年,他與著名男高音歌唱家普拉希多·
多明戈(Placido Domingo)合唱了一曲《可能是愛》(Perhaps Love)。丹佛還到中國、前蘇聯演出。並熱衷於慈善事業和環保事業。

上次同學的帖子里提到了馬可波羅的書,馬可波羅的旅行,感覺可能會有意思,已經看了快一百頁了,還讀的下去,寫了蒙古帝國的很多事情。合著這本書不是他本人寫的,他家爺兒仨在蒙古人堆兒里混了不少年終於得了個機會兒榮歸故里。後來馬可波羅在一次戰役中被俘和一個法國人關在一起,此書是他本人口述那個法國獄友記錄出版的。回來又衍生出很多不同版本和譯本,有些版本內容大相徑庭。這個版本的好處是有各版本的比較註解。學界對他是否真來過蒙古(當時中國是蒙古的一部分)還是有爭議的。


蔣-丹佛 JOHN DENVER:又回家了 BE BACK HOME AGAIN
There's a storm across the valley
Clouds are rolling in
The afternoon is heavy
On your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane
A mile or more away
The whining of his wheels
Just makes it colder
He's an hour away from riding
On your prayers up in the sky
And ten days on the road
Are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning
Supper's on the stove
It's the light in your eyes
That makes him warm
Hey it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm
Feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
There's all the news to tell him
How you've spent your time
What's the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last Friday
Sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday
Hey it's good to be back home again
Yes it is
Sometimes this old farm
Feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down
To feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for
The love that lights my way
The happiness that living with you brings me
It's the sweetest thing i know of
Just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning, supper on the stove
It's the light in your eyes that makes me warm
Hey it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm
Feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
Hey it's good to be back home again
You know it is
Sometimes this old farm
Feels like a long lost friend
Hey it's good to be back home again
I said hey it's good to be back home again...
