Any John Hartford fans?

If you folks want to hear John everyday, you can do some web-streaming here at: http://bluegrassbox.com/jhradio.php
Great stuff. Tim Obrien is on the site too.

Ricky Skaggs, no slouch himself, once said if there was one person no one wanted to follow it was John Hartford. He said he looked out one night and the once full auditorium was only about half full. Hartford had formed a conga line and was circling the building with the missing half--outside. I once saw him in person and I don't think I have ever seen anyone who could walk on stage with a fiddle, tap shoes, and a hat, and have the audience in the palm of his hand.
Champtree--I agree, the tribute album is special.

I remember John Harford all the way back from when he was a guest on shows like The Smothers Brothers and Glen Cambell shows. He was "Americana" before it was a musical catagory.

A friend of mine took his eight year old daughter to see Hartford at the Missouri Botanical Garden auditorium, and grabbed a front row seat. During a sing-along, John was winking and crossing his eyes at her, and she was giggling...That was John Hartford.
I saw him perform a couple of years before he passed, and it was a great show!
Anyone ever get his autograph? (as always, in the old steamboat ledger "script" style)

Wow FroggerZ! I didn't know he signed his name like that!
