Something close to bluegrass and its roots... Yeah - Scottish / Irish folk music is at the root of American bluegrass/country music... |

John Hartford was one of the many good reasons to watch "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour" in the late 60s. He would always stand up from the audience at the show's opening playing banjo while Glen did a short riff from "Gentle On My Mind." If Hartford had only written that one song he would deserve an honored place in American musical history. Such a talent. Hard to believe he's been gone for almost 23 years. |

Yep...a great talent gone far too soon. Interestingly, although he grew up in Missouri he was a native NYer. |

I know he had his riverboat pilot's license and often piloted boats on the Mississippi, long after he had become famous. When you said native NYer -- it reminded me of that song by Odyssey from 1977. |

John Prine is very special to me and has been since an old roommate introduced me to his music when I was in college. I've seen him many times in concert. The last music my wife heard on this Earth were four of her favorite John Prine songs. |
