...this is a wonderful compilation of John Duffy's work. I first saw the Scene at Carlisle Fest outside of Hamilton Ontario mid 70s and was hooked. Saw them again at Pinnacle Hill Fest in the Ottawa Valley, Ontario and Kissimee N.Y. This comp. brought some tears for sure and the expose by Akira was very a bit heart-wrenching. John Duffey is one-in-a-million and is sorrowfully missed...we love you...RIP

Fred, I asked Randall about this song back in 95 and it's similarity to The Traveler. He said "I'd been trying to get John to sing one of mine for years. I thought the easiest way to do it was write one like he'd have written." I dunno if y'all had heard that, or noticed the similarity. I thought it a good story. He was surprised someone remembered that song.

Their harmonies are incomperable in the bluegrass pantheon.
