i just picked up Mark Twang today for...get this...$0.25 at a record store that was discounting all dollar albums. album plays great, but cover had taped seams.
I got to shake his hand, He was a true legend. I seen him in concert four times and haxe just about every one of his albums.Even have one of his early ones that was not released to the public. He will be truly missed in this world.
Thanks for posting all of these. It's hard to believe he's been gone nine years. I miss him. He looks so young and healthy---he was a gift, all of his life. Boogie!!!
This illustrates what Mike Marshall said on the "American Routes" radio program interview segment from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival the year after Hartford died: "John was where bluegrass music met marijuana." Best of both worlds.
This is one of the first songs I heard him play - I fell in love with his music when my sister got me Mark Twang for my 17th Birthday, either shortly before or after he passed.
I never got to see him live, but listening to his music is an honor enough; it's special that way. He put so much of himself in these songs, singing about life and how in love with it he was, that it's like he's right there with you.
these are awesome! since i'm a younger john fan (and by younger, i mean, i'm 24, not that i'm a new fan. i grew up on john's music... gum tree canoe was my first favorite record ever. i was five. he played a show in maine on my fifth birthday and all i wanted was to be able to go with my dad [who was going to be lucky enough to interview him {again}], but since i was so young, i was unable to go), i was never able to see him. this is as close as i'm going to get. so thanks for uploading!

Some are musicians, others are songs.
I think we know what John was, God rest him. :)
