I saw John McEuen in the early 70s in London when he was with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was a free gig in a pub, and - expecting a big crowd - I arrived an hour before the doors opened. When the doors finally opened, I was in a queue of one! Anyway, the band was great, and I was particularly impressed with John charging from one side of the stage to the other while playing the fiddle. I used to like his column in the sadly long defunct " Frets" mag.
