11 May 01 - 03:43 PM (#460617) Subject: RE: John Hartford - Update From: GUEST,harpgirl Thanks for the update, BB....thanks for posting that song, Pat I'm gonna sing it a few times tonight when I get off work, along with a few others...and cry I've traveled all over to watch John perform over the years. As I may have mentioned before, one of my favorite performances of his was in the Mark Twain National Forest near Salem, Missouri, when the Dillards held their family reunion and "Real People" came to film the concerts. I was living and teaching in Arkansas. I drove up to visit with Bryan Bowers and to spend the weekend camped on the river there. I think it was the Elk River, if I am not mistaken. There is a natural stone bridge over the river that forms a long grotto. Bruce Kaplan and Bryan and I swam through it. Bryan had a panic attack and Bruce and I had to...well that's another story... anyway, John was scheduled to go on before sunset but he waited until the moon was full to come out. He and Homer Dillard played fiddles and danced. The stage was a gazebo, the moon was full. He told how Homer had taught him to dance and play at the same time. Homer was short and he was in his 70's then. He had his cowboy hat and his pointy cowboy boots on. John was in a bowler. It was my thirtieth birthday and I remember it as one of the best. I had spent the weekend camping, swimming, playing autoharp, and drinking beer and telling jokes with Byron Berline. Bryan tried to introduce me to John that weekend but I ran off. I wanted him to be a mystery. We have never actually met. Now he is "headin' down into the mystery below"...not really down below though I'm sure, just across the river. He brought so much joy to so many people. I'm one of those folks...a sad harpgirl |

Two common fiddlers. On a muddy street in Portage de Sioux hung out on a curve of the river I saw you in the misty future working horse hair into a bow. I thought I saw you in the pilothouse of a riverboat beyond the stilthouses, dancing a deckhand's waltz. Winter, I looked for you in Natchez. Were you fiddling or sipping gumbo in a damp cajun club? Meet me in Ponchartrain for oysters and sasparilla when the river sluices down its muddy secrets. My love is common, like the river. harp, Fayetteville, Arkansas 1980 |

13 May 01 - 08:25 AM (#461339) Subject: RE: John Hartford - Update From: Barbara Shaw I saw John perform this past July at the Grey Fox Festival (formerly Winterhawk). He was battling cancer then, and had a band with him. He would play his fiddle and sing a bit, and then fade to the back of the stage where he would sit down for a few minutes to catch his breath, then back to the front again for another bit of song. In a conversation during the weekend with Mary Tyler Doub (producer of Grey Fox), she told me that it was the performing that energized him and gave him strength to keep on fighting the disease. Her eyes filled with tears when she talked about "that dear, dear man." |

And John mentioned that he had not been traveling due to ill-health, and he did not sound too strong. I was in tears listening to it, knowing that he's in serious condition. I saw him perform twice, and I came away each time awestruck at the enormous talent and gentleness of the man. John, you'll always be gentle on MY mind. Seamus |

I remember this joke he told when I saw him onstage. Imagine that voice of his. There was a man who heard about a woman in his town that would do ANYTHING for $100, so he decided to seek her out. "She'll do ANYTHING, right?" he asked his friends. "ANYTHING," they told him. So he went to the house, and he knocked on the door. A woman answered. "May I help you?" "Yes, I'm looking for the girl who will do ANYTHING for $100." "Just a moment, please." A little bit later a beautiful young woman returned. "Yes?" "I heard you would do ANYTHING for $100. Is that true?" he asked. "Yes it is," she said. "Would you paint my house?" :-) |

14 May 01 - 04:34 PM (#462221) Subject: RE: John Hartford - Update From: Art Thieme John had a cancer removed from his neck back in the early 90's I think it was--maybe late '80s. His eating of garlic and other things sort of endeared (!?) him to many of us then. He seemed to've beaten the damn thing--but it returned. The diagnosis I heard was bone cancer. John was tired from the chemo as well as the cancer. He never quit his music though. Actually, it has kept him going I'm pretty damn sure. He travelled in his bus with a band in recent months and didn't dance hardly at all. Having the band on stage with him helped to ease the load. And then things got worse. Man, it hurts to write this... Art |

14 May 01 - 11:07 PM (#462501) Subject: RE: John Hartford - Update From: GUEST,Frogmore The first time I talked with John was on the phone. Scheduled to do a telephone interview with him on a college station, to promote a concert, I rang at the appointed hour. John answered, said he was expecting the call but was in the middle of writing a pretty cool song and was afraid he'd lose it if he talked to me. Could he please call back in 20 minutes? (His dime.) He was very sincere and polite and my response was very quick and also sincere. I said, "Hang up!" He called back and we had a good time with the interview. I asked him how the song went and he replied, "I nailed it." I've always wondered what it was. Jammed with him til 3AM a few years later and I'll never forget the energy. He continues to be a strong inspiration to me. |

15 May 01 - 09:49 AM (#462702) Subject: RE: John Hartford - Update From: GUEST,Arnie Every once in a while John would come up to Toronto with a band to do a concert. I remember seeing him over 23 years ago at York University. He did a long solo segment of fiddle, stepdance, hambone, general goofy monologue that had me totally mezmorised. Here was a brilliant performer who was so accomplished and yet eccentric enough to know not to take it all too seriously. Someone who knew how to have so much fun with the music he played and the people he was with - this is what strikes me as being so special about John Hartford. I can't help but laugh with joy when I listen to his recorded ramblings about Ed Haley, or "Rocky Top" on the Retrograss CD. I will be mindful of his great spirit of life as I continue to listen to his recordings and learn some of the tunes he played. Take a bow! Standing Ovation! |

15 May 01 - 12:45 PM (#462849) Subject: RE: John Hartford - Update From: Trapper I was in college, sharing a small apartment with two other guys. We had one bedroom - bunk beds and a single bed. If we had a lady visitor we were entertaining, the bedroom door would be closed, and we all respected that. One night one of the roomies was taking a little too long - midnight, and the door was still closed. We had speakers set up in the bedroom, but the stereo was on our side of the wall. We put on John Hartford's "Aeroplane", and put the needle down in the "Boogie" cut. Started out at 33-1/3, slowly turned the speed up to 45rpm, then to 78 rpm...
..."We can boogie in the living room
Anyway, by the time we got it up to 78rpm, the door flies open and our visitor, in a state of semi-disarray, goes storming out of the bedroom and out of the apartment. The roommate soon comes out and tries to be all mad, but we are laughing so hard that pretty soon he can't keep up the pretense and he's rolling on the floor too.
I've loved John Hartford ever since.

Does the memory still serve?) He arrived in an old Chevy II, walked in,captured the entire tribe, acknowledged his victory with a smile and then in robinhoodlike fashion set each and every one free to return to their separate roamings with new songs and thoughts, many of which remain today.Again and again over the years his vision remained true.Somehow am reminded of John Chapman; i.e. Johnny Appleseed, also of the Ohio River country and with that sort of footprint, or so it again seems.

My brother, Bill Domler, just passed away and I know that he will be waiting with open arms to help John through another life. I send my best to his family, and you will get through this difficult time. Keep playing his favorite music for him - it is so important. |
