I have enjoyed his music ever since I first saw him on the Smothers Brothers Show. He honored and celebrated true American music. A shame to hear hes gone.
i was lucky enuff to see john a couple of times, but the last time was ~15 years ago. as kelly sez, he really got into his shows - quite the performer. i still spin a couple of his lps on the platter... i'm saddened to here this - i dint know he was unwell...

I never followed John's musical carreer, but used to tune into the Glen Cambell show as a kid (he was the only reason to do so) to watch/listen to him. Seems that I saw him later on in a PBS show filmed along a river bank with other folk greats.
Hearing this makes me so very sad. Growing up with him on television as a child. Listening to him colaborate with his idols as I have grown older. Such a unique individual. I will surely miss his story telling.
Kelly, thank you so much for sharing that with us. Jeff.
