When I was 18, back in the late 90s, I got to see Mr Hartford live. I'm so grateful because he went to Heaven a couple years later. It was hilarious when hjm and the band played The Hokey Pokey as a young adult lol hehehehe ❤

I've always loved John Hartford, from the first time I saw him perform with Glen Campbell on Glen's Good Time Hour. I got to see him perform, right at the edge of the small outdoor stage on Navy Pier at Chicago Fest in about 1978. He performed solo and joined with Sam Bush and the New Grass Revival. i took some great 35mm photos of that show. As a musician myself (guitar, classical guitar, lute, etc.) I have much admiration and respect for John. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Sorry 1lawman...it is the TWILIGHT of Galena, IA. Capt. John was very good friends with the late Capt Dennis Trone who built and owned the boat...and as a passenger of the baot and a friend of both these late rivermen I can assure you it was filmed on the TWILIGHT.

I wish public TV had filmed John the one time I saw him solo in person, late 1970s in Hartford Connecticut's Busnell Park, a couple of miles from Mark Twain's house and in the shadow of those "tall buildings" he sang about unhappy folks working in.
