"Delta Queen Waltz" by Mr. John Hartford is simply a beautiful song. And those multiple fiddles are about the most lush and delicious sound I've ever heard on a recording. John is a damn genius, and that's all there is to it.

Some of his phrases and imagery are simply brilliant. My favorite phrase in this particular song has to be: "LIKE A PRESENT HEREAFTER"!! What a marvelous way to say that something is just heavenly---and it's right "here and now"---not pie in the sky. We do (me thinks) make our own heaven and hell. See __The Book of Thomas__ which some maneuvered to keep out of the Bible. Sorry for the digression. On the river, if ya go with the flow you'll find the grandest adventures.
