Such a gentle soul; miss him!

Love him,, I'm glad I saw him back in '93 in Berkeley!

michael johnson太伟大了！最爱！吉他无与伦比

One of my great regrets - music-wise - was never getting to see Michael live in concert. I have many of his albums and have loved his music ever since the first time I heard Bluer Than Blue when I was in university. Every time I take the time to watch a program such as this one I can’t help but feel the tears well up in my eyes, thinking about the loss which so many of us folk aficionados feel to this day…RIP Michael…

What a gift to find this video concert by a great singer songwriter that most people have never heard of!

God what a great voice. I heard her first in the 80s. Amazing.

Is the last song on this video, called "Song" with Anne & Tom singing together, on a CD? They sound great together! Love Tom's guitar playing too!!

I wish I could listen to all Tom's shows.

What treat! Love watching this in 2023. 💗🎶👏

Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but the lyrics to Anne's songs are so poetic! Lovely...❤❤❤

"Home" von Kat Eggleston- einer die am Beste Volks Liedern geschrieben. Die am meistens solche Liedern kommten wirklich aus uraltische Heiligerinen, auf Gaeligh- so uralitsich, vielleicht Cancer Aeon vor jener Pisces... Fraeulein Eggleston war auch zuwiss eine Heiligerin, von Goettin Luah, oder Dhumavatiih. "Who let the first bomb fall?"- erkennen sie, Erster wuerde auch irgendwie am Letzte; voelliger Ende... was konnte geschehen, durch den Falscher Prophet, Amerikanischer Praesident. Volk Musiks Wiederbeleben, auf Englisch und Amerikanisch, konnte nicht zuviel Kraft und Erfolg haben- der Name "Amerika" ist immerzeits verflucht; auch, Englischer Sprache wir haben nur durch Vampirismus von Rasse English, oder Frisian; ist nicht unserer geschlechtlicher Sprache, am bestes Erkennen, Gaeligh Albannach ist, Deutsch und Irish sehr fast so gut. Erkennen sie, kein Rasse Amerikanisch existiert; immerzeits ist den schlimmgemachter Fanne, sogenannt, verflucht; Englisccher Sprache ist am schlimmste moeglich fuer uns, besonders heute... Amerikanisch bedeutet, "Nicht Rasse", das ist Rassentliche Apostaeten... -UnmakeAmerica/TimekeepsNovaScotia

It is so wonderful to find this video tonight. A lost gem for me! I was talking to a fellow one time who was onebof Bill's best friends. We had a great talk about Bill. The guy is Cliff Eberhart. I told him that the story of Bill's life was just like his end. Amy Winehouse died on the same day and the music world only talked about her. Bill was so talented! He had his following, unfortunately, it seems, national fame always eclipsed him. Even in death he was eclipsed by a bigger star. I feel lucky to have gotten to see Bill perform at least 15 times over the years. Never one more word needed nor one word to few to write the perfect song. That was Bill. I miss him to this day. Thank you for sharing this. It brought a warmth to me tonight.

I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to see Bill in so many coffee houses, small clubs, and different church folk shows. I have been a fan since the mid-80's. Always so much fun to be in his audience. Thank you for posting this as I am listening to it with fond memories and more than a few tears in my eyes for the loss of someone who shared so many of his experiences in his life through his music.

I had the good fortune to see Chuck several times before he left the planet. It's great to see this one from nine years ago. I chatted with Chuck seveeral times and his relaxed demeanor wasn't just his music but his personality. We miss youi Zen Cowboy.

Thanks, Mr. May. Family visits by UA-cam. Good to see ya both.

Wow,what a great duet with Tom May,great job guys

Inches and miles,what a song,the lyrics go right to the heart,a true poet

Yeah,I,luv this song and the lyrics

We couldn't vote in Jack Gladstone to be Montana's only representative in the House of Representative (a while ago). Too bad, we were so disappointed. He represents the goodness of his heritage and the state's good people.

My left ear enjoyed this. Edit: But seriously. I did. Thanks.

I cry when I hear this angel sing. Always have. Anne sent me a Christmas card one dreary, cold Winter, when I was distraught and alone. I will never forget that gesture.💜

AMAZING ballad. WISH I could play guitar like that! Thanks for sharing ❤️

What a treat to come across this episode...Anne's one of my favorites.

Hello tom may I'm from the Netherlands l have a question do you know marinepouet from the little giant girl from royal de luxe if you know her because i want to ask her something

Tom may is one of the greats! Very underated muscian. Indian dude is also a fantastic performer!

Hello my name is j.s.KIm.from South Korea. I like country Song I usally your program River City Folk. Ann Hills from pensilvania is my F. Singer Child Within

Was fortunate to have seen Anne in person both by herself and with Michael Smith. A true gift them both. The only place to hear quality music is You Tube. Follow that Road and The Dutchman are two of my all time favorites.

This ain't Hollywood, It never really gets that good, Call it love if you think you should, There's no need to explain...

Kat Eggleston impresses me. Maybe the most original quality has-something-to-say singer songwriter I've heard. Paul Simon was better in many ways, but he had less to say.

I saw Bill in a dive bar by the ocean, in Stratford Ct, just before his second LP came out. His voice was still nuanced and his rapport with the 20 people in folding chairs arranged in a half circle around him was memorable and instantaneous. The stories he told between songs were not merely to rest his singing voice. They formed the narrative and zip-codes for the songs to come. From that show Barstow, Texas Blues and Night Shift just killed and you knew you were going to have to talk with him after the show and buy everything he had. He did this bit where he finger picked on his guitar and explained: "I'm going to sing a song now and I'm going to need you to come in when I tell you and help me out. It's required. (Laughter and more picking) But I'm not going to tell you what to sing. (more laughter). When it comes around you'll know what to do." Perhaps only people of a certain age will get this joke, but they were well represented in the audience. When he got to the part we did know it, and we sang with him. The song was Petticoat Junction, from the old TV show.

I could die to this music and meet Saint Peter with a smile at the Pearly Gates.

Hoping for Donna From Mobile.💝

Picked up Bill hitchhiking at the Epsom traffic circle on route 4, late one sunny autumn afternoon. His guitar case doubled as a makeshift sign, which read, "SEACOAST". I was headed to UNH in Durham, so pulled the van over and Bill jumped in. We stopped at a store in Northwood, where I fetched us two "cold ones". Bill lit up a bone, and we were soon rolling down the road, laughing our asses off ('have beer & bone will travel' was a '70s motto). Had seen Bill perform in various NH venues prior to that experience, and was a big fan. Also caught him several times afterward. On one such night in Peterborough I reminded Bill of that ride to the seacoast, and asked him to sign a CD cover for me. He personalized it, then added, "Thanks for the ride!". I'm a guy and 100% straight, so that little piece of gratitude didn't really thrill me - but it cracked him up. Typical Bill Morrissey humor. Not ashamed to admit that I still look for Bill on route 4, holding a guitar case that reads, "SEACOAST".

RIP Bill. You were one of the most prolific songwriters of our generation.

And I always thought someone else did the garden song.

I find that nylon string guitars can serve as wonderful folk guitars, not just because of what I see in the above video, but also I play one myself.

You really look like you enjoy what you do. Not that many people are that lucky.

I sure do miss that River City Folks show.

I used to listen to river city folk years ago on the radio, when I first started playing guitar. Of course, that was before the dawning of you tube. The show was a tremendous inspiration to me, a beginning guitarist at the time. I'm so glad to be able to re-connect with this show again, thanks to the invention of you tube.

This song is great! Tom May is the best!

I am so very grateful for these recorded shows. Incredibly special and more so in retrospect So many of my folk heroes here. An hour here or there on this page and the fire is once again burning inside me. I hope this legacy is passed along to new generations, of course they'll find their own voices, and have, but I fear for a world where these tender songs are lost to our ears.

Michael Johnson died on July 25, 2017, following a long illness. He will be greatly missed by me and all of his many fans. He was a wonderful guitarist and entertainer and, well, a nice guy. At the 15:40 mark of this video, Michael states that he doesn't have a daughter, but a few years before his death, he discovered that he did indeed have a daughter, and the two of them were reunited. They sang a duet on his last CD, Moonlit Deja Vu.

happy trails Chuck, glad to have met you.

I am primarily a jazz and classical music fan these days, but do like all sorts of music. It's been either twenty-nine or thirty years since my brother and I wandered into the Free Times Cafe on College Street in Toronto. By sheer chance, you were performing there that night. I thought that your music was fantastic and I decided to purchase your cassette. It had songs like 'Bessie and Me' and 'The Heart of the Appaloosa' on it. a few years ago, I decided I ned to get rid of most of my cassettes. I am happy to say that I kept about a half dozen of which yours is one of them. I have recently found videos of your show on youtube and I am enjoying them immensely.
