American country music is famous all over the world, such as the songs of John

Denver. Many people enjoy listening to the music in their free time. But still some

people don’t know where it began.

Country music comes from folk music of the Appalachian Mountains in the east of

America. There, people sing while they are playing the guitar and violin. They usually

sing about love and problems. So the songs are sometimes a little sad.

John Denver is one of the most popular country music singers. He is also quite famous to

the Chinese. For John Denver, music is a language that could bring the world together.

He says music can bring people together. They will understand each other through music.

The world lost a great man when John Denver died in 1997. But his words and music

will still live on(永存).
