Here is a sweet little fiddle tune by John Hartford set to some old time images. The Quail is a Pretty bird is from the album Hamilton Ironworks.
Here's to the late, great John Hartford.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • This song changed my life! Hartford was a true musical treasure.
