His original band mate Charlie Waller( The Country Gentlemen) wasn't too bad either...or was Doyle Lawson...or John Starling. It was great growing up around DC...one time Bluegrass capitol of the country

Sure it does, with John Starling, Tom Gray, and Mike Auldridge.

John Duffy and the Seldom Scene. The best modern day Bluegrass band. I Miss John's wonderfull mandolin and high lonesome voice and sense of humor. I first herd the Seldom Scene in 1984 and have loved their sound so much. Ben Eldredge and Lou Reed is still holding the group together. So great, Thanks.

Very powerful and moving song, beautifully done by the Seldom Scene. Brings tears to my eyes...

John Duffey was a great influence on me as a musician. He was an institution. His music lives on. This video from '96 was the same year he passed away. Sadly, his declining health shows in his eyes here... RIP John Duffey!

The crowd reaction when the song starts is just great.

I got to hang out with John and the Seldom Scene backstage once after a show in San Francisco. He liked his liquor and cigarettes and was cutting it up with the folks in a most friendly and jovial way. A real class act and a sweetheart of a man. RIP

I was very privileged as a young girl with my dad and the band we traveled to all the bluegrass festivals and played and this group has always been one of my favorites !! miss the good old days!!

I was sad when I found him he was already gone....such a good voice

i 1st tried to get in to see the Scene at the old Birchmere, in a run down shopping center off Walter Reed Road in Alexandria, VA in the late 70's.....we got there too late and it was sold out but i remember seeing & hearing Duffy doing this song thru the glass door and was mezmerized....turned into a huge scene fan over the next twenty years or so. Incredible band, but what always got to me was Duffys beutiful, pure tenor. RIP JD

I was fortunate enough to see The Seldom Scene live several times, along with many of the great first and second-generation bluegrass legends, in the '60's, '70's, '80's, yet I'm still struck by the beauty of their vocals. It's almost a surprise every time I hear them. Mike Auldridge's dobro playing really had heart, and John Duffy's zany sense of humor added a wonderful sparkle to their performances - what a great combination. The band I played with opened for them once in a concert in Boston, and it's a treasured memory. Great times.

@@captsorghum Right; it's not Auldridge nor is John Starling in this clip, but they were both with the band when I first heard them. Somehow, they managed to keep (almost) the same sound through all their personnel changes.

Just struck me, today, how much I miss John. Many a night at the Birchmere. Will never forget hearing of his passing.

I never had the good fortune to see them live! But they an all star band!

I've been listening to the Seldom Scene for 30 years but don't keep up with who's who in music. So sad to learn that John Duffey died. Ouch. If there's a bluegrass heaven, he's there. I wouldn't mind getting there myself. What a magnificent musician he was. The Seldom Scene is my favorite bluegrass band. I love the numbers they did with Linda Ronstadt!

Always loved this group... Amazing Harmonies.... Gotta love it....

John, you are missed terribly. I still love the Seldom Scene, but it will never be the same.

He died in December the same year. Too young, too soon. RIP, John.

It amazes me that anyone could "dislike" this.

wow this must have been only months before Duffy passed, loved this band!

The one and only John Duffy. RIP

No words are good enough to express this group.

Duffey shall be forever missed......the whole of the Seldom Scene was John. No diss on the others. None intended.

John Duffy was one of a kind..my brother in law had a band when we were all much younger ..they sang John Duffy songs ..his music lives on

I saw Seldom Scene perform this tune on a PBS bluegrass special about 40 years ago. I tried to find this song a few weeks later, but friends and local record store employees were not familiar with it. A link to this video appeared on a KZread page with a "recommended for you" notation last night. It's as beautiful as I remember it. Thank you, KZread.

There is no other bluegrass band like this one right here god bless em' all

I love this group this is Bluegrass at it’s finest!! I hate these two great talents are gone .

Duffey!!!! He was the best- voice of an angel

Gives me cold chills listening to the mandolin picking.

My dad inherited one of two Ducks. I’ll inherit it from him when he passes. It will never be sold. What an amazing band, an amazing mandolinist John Duffey was, and a legacy that will never be forgotten! They did more for bluegrass than any other band possibly could! RIP John and Nancy

John Duffey in my option was one of the absolute best that has ever sang and play .

Love it all, especially the sweet harmonies.

The stuff legends are made of. Amazing vocals, and a beautiful song. Thank you for posting.

I was at that festival I was 16 years old. That’s a great festival. My family went to that festival for over 20 years. Great times

if this dont take you back and remind you of your future love nothing will, thanks SS

Ran a needle through Live at the cellar door, Loved that record.

This Song Makes my Heart cry. So beautiful 😍🥰🥰🥰

John Duffy’s declining health was sad to see at the very end when he bends over and seems to be coughing or struggling for air. What a treasure he was.. perhaps the greatest bluegrass singer of all time.

I miss John so very much........

This is just plain powerful music. Sounds just like they did on Old Train.

watch john at the end of this song. something happened to him. Ben Eldridge was the first to show concern and then the rest of the band. john died of a heart attack 12/10/96, very shortly after this performance. i'm guessing that the beginning of the end was captured on this video. john didn't look too healthy here but his singing was great as always. wait a minute was wonderfully performed. it breaks my heart to see this and remember john and so many other great musicians who are no longer with us. life rolls on so hug someone today and everyday.

It seems unkind to mention that John Duffey was reputed to be a heavy smoker & 62 yo when he passed. He never liked flying & that's why he quit Country Gentlemen before they flew to a performance in Japan. Playing fast bluegrass & keeping late, erratic hours can't have been good for a man in failing health as he obviously shows in this video. I'm so glad we still get to hear that wonderful voice.
