[KingRobbStark]

What a great introduction by Jonny Cash.

For the record Hartford was misinformed. The banjo actually is an African intstrument, not an American invention.

At this time, Bobby L. Moore was musical contractor for Johnny Cash's TV show. He is seen only briefly playing bass in this film. Wonderful basslines. While largely uncredited for his works, Bob Moore is the best producer Nashville has ever known. Period!

Bob Moore (King of Nashville) on the upright bass. Mr. Moore was the musical contractor for Johnny Cash when he started his TV show.

I read somewhere that John and Norman met on the Johnny Cash show. Notice that Vassar is there too... seems like this that we are watching could be the birth of the Aereo-Plain band. Any of you that know the album know how significant this would be!

[atrailmike]

seems like someone took down the part that follows with John, Vassar, and Norman all playing tribute to Big Mon.

[johnny85er]

that's too bad, someone else was hosting that portion, i didn't want to step on any toes, but if they've removed it, I'll dig up mine & put a copy up soon.

[johnny85er]

Nicely noted, that very well could be :)

[Thorvaldsdottir3]

I'd only heard Mason Williama sing this before; it's nice to hear the original artist.

[Giselle62]

we are so lucky right now to be seeing all of these things---i must've seen some of these shows when i was little...

[itabena]

is this john hartford from 'down from the mountain'?

[VictorianRose7]

Yes it is. There's a lot of videos of him on YouTube. Some of my favorites are "Sunshine Lady" from the (Something Else- tv show), "Annual Waltz" from (Learning to smile video) and anything from the (Ramblin' video). In my opinion Hartford was a totally underrated musical genius! (Not to mention he was totally cute!)

Why isn't the Johnny Cash show in syndication on one of the 300 cable channels? The diverse level of quality talent he was able to assemble will never be repeated on network television. It took a talent like Johnny Cash to recognize and promote some of the best young talent of the 70's.

What Year was this Gem from?

[willardXC]

1969

[johnny85er]

not sure if it's live or not honestly.. could be lip synced

[atrailmike]

Do you think? I don't know- the Johnny Cash show... its followed by the amazing medley with John, Johnny, Vassar, and Norman... could be I guess.

I don't know for sure, but seems to me it must be 1970 or so.
