First of all, lets get the name right... To those of us who were fans when he broke into the business it it wasn't John Hartford, it was Johnny Hartford... World of difference to us old timers...

I mean, we loved his music but what really made it for alot of us was when Glen Campbell got his show... Johnny was on there lots and that when we got to see who he was as a performer... I'll tell ya' what... I had never seen anything like it... I mean them feets just a pounding out them percussion on hardwood stage floors while he was playin' whatever happened to have strings on it... I mean, he could play 'um all... It was mezmorizing!!!

Guess it's been, what, 15 years since he died afetr a 20 year fight with melanoma...

Heck of a musican that laid the groundwork for alot of one man bands...

I miss ol' Johnny Hartford... Sho nuff do...
