‘Almost heaven’

I think all of us can recall seeing the trio above at various CHS functions. The guy on the right — Bill Danoff — went on to a stellar career in music, of course, including leading the singing group Starland Vocal Band, which won two Grammys in 1976.

Classmate John Collins sent me the link to a NBC Washington Channel 4 clip about Danoff and some background on the iconic song he co-wrote with John Denver — “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

The video at the top of the piece contains lots of photos of Bill and the DC folk scene back in the day and, of course, you get to see him as he is now.

Anybody remember if the Montano/Dempsey/Danoff trio had a name?
