'Take me to Tomorrow'. From the album Take Me to Tomorrow 1970
"Take Me Home Country Roads". Although this song talks about West Virginia and is used by the tourism board of that state, it is geographically wrong. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River are both located in Virginia.
"Rhymes and Reasons". "Rhymes and Reasons" was picked because of the lyrics,
"For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow
They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today."
Lovely, isn't it?

Christa McAuliffe. Christa McAuliffe was to be the first teacher in space. Her life was cut short when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up 73 seconds after lift-off on January 28, 1986. John had desired to fly into space and had hoped to be one of the first citizens in space. He wrote the song "Flying For Me" in memory of the Space Shuttle Challenger and her crew. An interesting side note- Judy Resnick was one of the other crew members aboard that flight.
Peter, Paul and Mary. John wrote this song to express the feelings of loneliness he was having while traveling with the Chad Mitchell Trio. The song also came to express the longing and loneliness many young men and women were feeling at that time as they were going off to serve in the Vietnam War. Though John wrote it and later recorded it, Peter, Paul and Mary had the first recording of this song.
John's Uncle Dean. "Matthew" was written for John's father's family, the Deutschendorfs. Uncle Dean was the second youngest of his dad's brothers. John and his uncle worked the wheat harvests together. Dean was killed in an auto accident shortly before his 21st birthday.
