I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado Liner Notes
I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado was the first song Taffy Nivert and I wrote that was recorded by someone other than ourselves. We did it as a 20-minute exercise in songwriting, just to see if we could. The inspiration for the lyrics was Dick Weissman, a friend and producer of Reincarnation, our first album as Fat City, the name of our duo. Dick was a renowned banjo player with the folk group, The Journeymen.
During this time, I was a Georgetown University student working nights as the lights and soundman at the Cellar Door, a funky little nightclub on M Street in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC. But the Cellar Door was big on the national circuit, along with the Bitter End in New York and San Francisco's Hungry i, for an eclectic lineup of performers including Joni Mitchell, Odetta, comedian Mort Sahl and Thelonius Monk.
In 1966, The Mitchell Trio played at the Cellar Door. Chad Mitchell had just left the Trio and was replaced by a skinny, blond-haired Air Force brat named John Denver. While John did not have Chad's outstanding vocal range, he more than made up for it with an upbeat personality that one day would charm millions of fans from kids to grandmothers.
