Rocky Mountain High: Embellished Chords and Licks |
Susan Mazer |
Rocky Mountain High was considered a major piece of 1970s pop culture, and became a well-known piece of Colorado history. In recent years, the song has gained status as an unofficial anthem of Colorado. Support has actually come along for the present state song to be replaced by Rocky Mountain High. Thirty years later, the song is being performed at pro-sports games in Denver, and used in advertisements for Colorado-made products. Even a ski resort near Aspen named a run Rocky Mountain High in honor of John Denver. This is a prime example of how music can have a major influence on society. |
