20 Apr 01 - 03:29 PM (#445552) Subject: Mr. Hartford ill From: Art Thieme Folks, John Hartford has been in a Nashville hospital since about the 8th of April. He returned home from a Texas gig with double pneumonia. Cards and best wishes can be sent to Box 443--Madison, TN 37116. I talked to his wife, Marie, this morning. For some reason, John's hands are numb now and that has curtailed his picking for the time being. I know so many of his fans and friends will want to send good vibes and best wishes in the Hartford family's direction. Art Thieme Zip code corrected, per Art's message below. --JoeClone

I saw him at a bluegrass festival in Rhode Island and was beside myself. (both of us were applauding) I hope he gets well. Love, annamill |

20 Apr 01 - 04:51 PM (#445632) Subject: RE: Mr. Hartford ill From: Tedham Porterhouse John's been ill for a while now. A couple of years ago, he told me that, illness or not, he was determined to carry on as long as possibly could. I'll certainly be praying that he'll be able to keep on carrying on as for a long time yet. |

Some years back Doc Scantlin's Red Hot Peppers played the Newport News City Festival. We went on just before John Hartford. Before the show we chatted briefly with him. He was very warm and genuine. He spent a good bit of time with our banjo player, Terri Scantlin, teaching and sharing. In case he checks in here, John I wish you a speedy recovery. Your music has been a joy in my life and the lives of millions. Chance |
