Been on a bit of a nostalgia trip lately, remembering one of my favorite banjo-pickers (and all-time favorite steamboat pilot), the late great John Hartford. He was my greatest influence when it came to playing the banjo and the fiddle, the man had a style all his own. I’d seen Hartford weave his magic onstage more times than any other entertainer, and his musical legacy shows no sign of abating, thankfully.
Here’s a video of John playing guitar (his 3rd instrument, really, after the banjo and fiddle), singing his haunting Going To Work In Tall Buildings.
