Growing up in a household with a constant noise from the wireless, I grew fond of lots of songs. It was only when I grew up that I realised how many of these songs were John Denver! Top songwriter IMHO.

Spent a camping holiday in the west country about 40 years ago and a German couple played Calipso at high volume every day. Thing is I still love the song.

I'd never clocked what/who calypso was in that song until then.

Thank you, it all makes sense now.
