Will Pound, (harmonica) and Dan Walsh, (voice, banjo) perform John Hardy for an audience of 6-12 year olds. The song is a murder ballad, John Hardy kills a man while playing craps and is hanged. With lyrics like "John Hardy was lying on a riverbank as drunk as a man could be" it is clearly a well chosen song for this audience. And they loved it. It shows that empathy for gambling, murdering drunkards can begin at almost any age.
