Amazing John has been gone now 10 years and his music is as popular today. One of his signiture songs was Big Rock Candy mountain. I was trying to find it on here and ran into this. Thanks for posting.
I know that one version of this song (the version from which I learned it) was on the "Gum Tree Canoe" album--which I was so glad I got signed by John at the one concert of his I got the chance to see.
I know that he included a studio-recorded version of this song on the "Gum Tree Canoe" album (on which I got his autograph at the one concert of his I was able to see).
Great banjo playing. My favourite John Hartford tunes are 'Julia Belle Swain' and 'Let him go on mama', both featuring excellent banjo solos. Do videos exist of these?
The first time I heard this song was when Hartford was performing a medley of fiddle tunes solo. He put it right in the middle of the medley for a real treat.
Thanks to the good Lord, John will always be here.
