oh, gum tree canoe!
john (bless his heart) hartford
was to have been the m.c. of the
carnegie hall performance of the
Oh Brother Where art thou music
but was taken by cancer
before he could realize his goal.

you owe it to yourselves, if you have
not done it, to get and see the video
of him on teh river boat...both as
captain and entertainer...doing a
percussive dance (the old soft shoe?)
while playing banjo...and obviously
loving and enjoyng it all.

his house overlooked a bend in the river..
