    I enjoyed seeing him at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in the early 70's. They really had quite the lineup

    My daughter danced with J Hartford at Onekema County Fair some time back in the 1980s. Amazing man.

    There was only one John Hartford - a true American original. He is missed like the old Trolley Car and the Steamboat.

    Big hand to John Hartford. Saw him in the summer of 2000 at Grey Fox and will never forget it. Travelled 6000 miles to get there.

    Wow, I’ve never seen John Hartford on video when he was this old. I wondered if he would still dance. Yup, but a bit quieter now than those earlier concerts where he was a true one-man band. What an original spirit he was, like someone from a Time Machine from long ago.

    I was on my way to T'ride, stopped and bought some property here in Kanab, UT before this show. I remember him dancing through the crowd one year. Will be remembering John Hartford on the stage for the 50th Telluride Bluegrass Festival, June 2023.

    For a couple summers I lived in an old miner's cabin that I fixed up above town on the side of the mountain that you can see at 9:50. 35 minute hike from town. Above what used to be called the bus village. Unfortunately this was 99 and 2000 so I missed JH. A few years later BLM or DNR or whoever tore the cabin down. But those were good times. I could hear the festivals at town park so clear from my cabin just sitting out there looking over town at night. Literally sitting on top of the world.

    Superb. Question about the first number- I know some of the lyrics are from "more big bull fiddle fun," but to my ear it sounds like a different, minor-sounding fiddle tune underneath it. Anyone know the name of that one? Thanks in advance!
