Jack was a good friend of mine, he invited me for dinner several nights a week, great dinners, wine and conversation. He had a great laugh, we discovered we both loved WB Yeats. Farewell ! Thanks for all those nights
Jack was one of the great ones! If you're ever going through Okemah, stop out at Lou's Rocky Road Tavern, head in the back and find the wooden porch swing...that was Jack's. They had a sign on it every year that said "reserved for Jack Hardy". Last year, it was changed to "in Memory of Jack Hardy". So stop in at Lou's, play a song and remember Jack. We'll all be seeing him again someday, and we should have some incredible songs to swap!
Met Jack at the Forum Coffee House I’m Hartford about 1968. He was a force of nature at The University of Hartford both at their newspaper and radio station. Last saw him at the Vanilla Bean in Pomfret where we had a chance to catch up. RIP my friend.
Love and loss...that is truly what this life is all about...Jack understood this so deeply and communicated it so beautifully. Only had one conversation with him in the last ten years...so I'm thrown by the grief i feel that he is gone...he touched so many of us...i am so grateful his music will live on and on...
First heard this song, from Lui Collins c. 1979, and then Jack's "Fast Folk" anthologies. I'd missed the whole late '60s Hartford folk scene he came out of, while I was going to coffee houses in New Haven, Waterbury and Storrs. So near yet so far!
knowing a tin whistle from a flute is a good place for you start Greg. If ye feels the need to denigrate in a comment atleast have ye sheit in one sock.

I'll always be grateful for Jack and his music...it allowed me to find my own voice and sing, too. RIP Jack.

Hardy is one of the great ones! Had the privilege of seeing him at Passim's in Cambridge, MA, pointed "witch's" hat and all! A very special evening.
I saw him in Cambridge too! Decades ago. When he had the Cauldron EP. sorry I didn't stay for the second set.

I remember him from Gerde's Folk City in NYC a great many years ago. Was sorry to hear he'd passed away.
Simply So good!
He carried that coin always.
