I concur with last couple of comments-great video footage. I think, with the fact that both John's - here - having low voices, that the guy on far left stage, in this, with a singing microphone, is probably the one which can be heard singing the really high harmony on "Uncle Pen." Great backing band and, of course, splendid singing and playing by the stars of the situation. I can't believe they're both gone, now.

My parents only let me grow my hair over my ears after Glen Cambell and John Hartford did. They provided a bridge between Country and Hippie.

A lot of videos on youtube get called "great," "cool," "fantastic," etc., without necessarily deserving the praise. But then there's this one. This one is truly reat, cool, etc., etc. Thanks.

Thanks for the info about John Hartford - Love Brother Where Art Thou. Johnny Cash was a one-off wasn't he? No-one sounds like him, such a unique voice!

I feel your pain. I figure I'll go with a harmonica for now. Easier to learn by someone with elbow impairments that disallows a banjo style instrument... /sigh.. this music makes me smile.
