Default RIP Mike Taylor. John Denver's 1st lead guitarist.

Mike Taylor, co-writer of Rocky Mountain High, Sunshine on My Shoulders, Eagle and the Hawk and Season Suite passed away yesterday. His guitar licks are heard on many John Denver albums from the 70s.

Mike was the one that created the opening guitar lick on Rocky Mountain High.
