- On January 10th, we have our foundation meeting. Since we all,
compared
to today, live relatively close to each other, this is the first of
several
meetings which in the end bring the club on its way. It also gets its
name
on one of these meetings – "music and communication", back then with
the
German addition "Musik und Botschaft".
- In the first years, we put out
six newsletters a year – in
late February,
the first one is published. It has 16 pages
and comes to about 10
copies.
But, after all, we are only starting out.
- For April, a tour through
Germany is announced, which then never comes
together. On June 16th, John album "Some Days Are Diamonds" is released.
- In September, we are back to
the Netherlands for their Denver Day.
- On September 3rd, John gets the
"Premier Artists Award" from RCA, for
selling
10 million copies of "John Denver's Greatest Hits".
- On October 15th, John does a
benefit concert for the Windstar
Foundation
at the Cathedral of St. John the Devine in New York.
- On November 28th, our first club meeting takes
place in Doris' living
room.
Actually, we had planned for a meeting with our members from the
Saarland,
but then spontaneously decided to simply invite all members – the
result
was that we have guests from all over Germany (almost all people from
the
Saarland, by the way, had something else planned for the day already…)
