I do think there's a need for a comprehensive John Hartford box set. The Rounder Anthology (Me Oh My How the Time Does Fly) is very good, but so is the Country Legends anthology from RCA (his commercial side). Then again, I'm lusting after Natural to Be Gone 1967-1970 and Steam Powered Aereo-Takes. I have the first two, but can I really justify buying the other two?

The Wikipedia entry is worth a look, by the way. Did you know he was born "John Harford" and changed his name at the suggestion of Chet Atkins? I'll bet even Harpgirl didn't know that.
