I was at MerleFest in the mid nineties. Went every year back then. I was walking across a field going from stage to stage. I came across John Hartford in the middle of a field pickin' and singing with someone I didn't know. Never made to the place I was going, who's leaving a private performance from a legend? A crowd eventually gathered, but my friend and I probably got a private show for 20 minutes. One of my favorite festival memories!
What? More cowbell & more of the late, great John H please. ru just trolling like the kids do?...& at your age, 4dee? John's "just a fellow worked on the river all night by a paddlewheel; you say he's old fashioned, well that ain't no big deal, cuz...it's too thick to navigate; and it's too thin to plow. let him go on, Mama, don't put him down for it now." RIP John - gone way too soon - may you stay forever gentle on our minds.

Like being in the presence of a banjo-pickin' Buddha? Did see his aura? 😛What a great story.
Hartford is a true original.
I absolutely Love Failing singing this song!!! Top Notch ❤
I love Billy failing too. He's underappreciated
Yeah BF is AMAZING
Just what I needed to hear! 👍🏻
Great job Billy Failing 🔥
yup 😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤
There are a number of people whose songs this guy's done that he shouldn't even bother covering. John Hartford tops that list. Please stop?
Why? He does a great job, plus he keeps iconic artists from being forgotten. If you aren't a fan, then why bother listening?
What a foolish comment. Move on buddy boy.
Seems like nobody agrees with you! I don’t either…..

Why would anyone be even remotely interested in this comment or what you have to say at all?? Go somewhere else Bub. Internet is big.
