Wonderful! What is the addition to the bridge of John's banjer? It looks like a piece of duct tape on the head under the bridge or rolled up in front of the bridge.

Love this video. I achieve that zen place just by watching these two. I was lucky enough to meet John this summer at Swannanoa.

somewhere in the back of my mind I can hear John Hartford singing this...like a ghost in the night...like wolf howling on this bitter cold Wisconsin night...nicely done...2 of my fav musicians

[incensefiddlesticks]

Can't you hear them wolves a-howlin

all around my poor little darlin

Can't you hear them wolves a-howlin

all around my poor little darlin

four on the hillside six in the holler

they're gonna get her, bet you a dollar

can't you hear them wolves a-howlin

all around my poor little darlin

[incensefiddlesticks]

Can't you hear them wolves a-howlin

all around my poor little darlin

Can't you hear them wolves a-howlin

all around my poor little darlin

can't you see them blue clouds flyin

poor little darlin, hollerin and cryin

can't you hear them wolves a-howlin

poor little Mary home a cryin

This tune is called " Wolves a Howlin' " , if you listen to John closely he mentions the name of the song and tune in the middle of the song he sings and tune he plays with Rayna
