I saw John Hartford in concert at the Paul Green Theatre in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in the 1990's and he played banjo, fiddle, guitar and ALSO THE WASHBOARD he played with his FEET while playing the other instruments. He was amazing. I always treasure having seeing him in concert. I also went to see Doc Watson months later in the same theatre.
I believe this clip came from the local tennesse pbs crew as the did a piece on the cumberland river -- very grateful for this to have been recorded -- John is a true legend of music and american culture -- time took him to soon but I guess that big river in the sky needed another pilot
thank you dickted, yes I had this bout 3yrs ago, but lost it somehow an not found it till now, and yes again, it was recorded at his home I do remember that, by a guy working for a university or national geographic, something like that, thank you again graham

Jamie Hartford does a fabulous version of this song on his album "Part of Your History." Check it out; your soul will thank you.

fabulous. Post-1992 is my guess, given the 'achy-breaky heart' reference at the end.
