I was at MerleFest in the mid nineties. Went every year back then. I was walking across a field going from stage to stage. I came across John Hartford in the middle of a field pickin' and singing with someone I didn't know. Never made to the place I was going, who's leaving a private performance from a legend? A crowd eventually gathered, but my friend and I probably got a private show for 20 minutes. One of my favorite festival memories!

There are a number of people whose songs this guy's done that he shouldn't even bother covering. John Hartford tops that list. Please stop?

Why? He does a great job, plus he keeps iconic artists from being forgotten. If you aren't a fan, then why bother listening?

What? More cowbell & more of the late, great John H please. ru just trolling like the kids do?...& at your age, 4dee? John's "just a fellow worked on the river all night by a paddlewheel; you say he's old fashioned, well that ain't no big deal, cuz...it's too thick to navigate; and it's too thin to plow. let him go on, Mama, don't put him down for it now." RIP John - gone way too soon - may you stay forever gentle on our minds.

Why would anyone be even remotely interested in this comment or what you have to say at all?? Go somewhere else Bub. Internet is big.
