phunkyb Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 So I have been diving into John Hartford's work thanks to PT Yonder. There is a thread with some live stuff and albums that are being posted. He is a fantastic writer and plays a mean fiddle and Banjo.Yonder Mountain String Band does a lot of Hartford covers.

Blurry Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I had a dream about John Hartford the other night (seiously) - I was telling him of all the songs that I like of his......it just kept going on and on and on. I actually had to get up, go about my day and then continue the dream the next night. Man he's awesome!Love his version of Piece of My Heart - phunkyb you should check out the Glitter-grass album he does with The Dillards. He's Hartfordized alot of great songs. Favourite album would have to be Morning Bugle. Favourite song of his right now is All Men Want to be Hoboes.From what I understand he more or less put together the Down from the Mtn Tour in 2000-2001'ish. I went to that show at the ACC with Lisa - when I got into Hartford a few years later and found that out I thought that there might have been a chance I saw him live without even realizing it - but when I checked the setlist fromt the Toronto show he wasn't there - I think he was too sick at that point.So sad, that he's gone!
