Hey no I didn't mean to make it sound like I was upset about it. I just thought it was kind of funny.

[LostintheHoller]

What's with the Picture of the Haints? I thought this was going to be them playing it because that was the photo shown in the thumbnail.

[nllleonard]

Love John Hartford, love the song and really love the pictures and captions! ;)

Glad I visited this one again today. I miss you, friend! REally do!

I have audio only of John playing fiddle on a porch...me sitting at his feet. Must get them out and see if they are worth uploading. He was sitting right next to a screen door and people kept passing through, so the songs are full of "squeeeek....SLAM...squeeeeek.­..SLAM" ;) I will check them out though and upload if not too bad. xo NAncy

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[fickabounce]

yeah my dad plays this album, hamilton ironworks, all the time driving around in his big ol international pickup it's fun times. something about this music makes you feel clean all over even if your covered in dirt like a farmer. it's clean dirt all of a sudden. thanks for reminding me i now have a copy for myself. cheers. :D

[About2Rain]

If you like this then you're gona LOVE the other 2 cd's by Hartford. They are very similar to Hamilton Ironworks but even better!

1. Wild Hog in the Red Brush

2. Speed of the Old Long Bow

You can find them on Amazon or Ebay.

You will LOVE them!!!!!!

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

Sweet....I got to chat with John twice...sitting on the dock when he was piloting steam boats...nice feller

[fickabounce]

oh cool. did you ask him about 'politic'? or was this before then?

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

No politics...just steamboat talk

[About2Rain]

Hi Richard...

How awesome that you got to shoot the breeze with John... Must'a been a shiny moment in time for you. And not once but twice! Where did you meet him?

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

I used to go down to the Mississippi..on a romote dock to relax....John moored his steamer...Julie Belle Swain and brought a flat over to the dock.......he had on the vest and his pilots hat.,.....nice guy and he stopped and chatted...I ended up getting some caliope parts free cuz they were converting from steam......it was very relaxed...no hint of 'Star"....just talking about steamboats and caliopies

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

On a remote dock on the upper Mississippi...nice feller...

[BluegrassForte]

[Amethysting]

Well done- used to take a brak from my piano shop- a remote dock on The Mississippi- John anchoed his steamboat out in the channel and brought a flat to the dock- met him there twice and had a nice chat- thanks for the memories

[About2Rain]

Sure must have been a wonderful moment in time for you. John is one of my favorite people. He had such a wonderful heart and soul.

[About2Rain]

Love John Hartford and especially his style on the fiddle. He was a great fan of the very late and very great fiddlin' Ed Haley. John put out two CD"S in Ed's Honor. They are my favorites along with John's" Hamilton Ironworks."

This is wonderful ... puts me into another whole place and time ... and since I didn't live in another place at another time ... well, that's quite special.

Don't you love it when songs do that?
