John Hartford - Old Time River Man video free download

I saw Mr. Hartford at the Philadelphia folk fest in 2000 (or 2001?)...not too long before he passed away... One of the best performances I've ever been to. He played a song "watching the river roll by" can't find it anywhere

thanks for the opportunity to enjoy a poet's timeless quality.

What a wonderful individual style John had. He also had his own banjo necks made a fret higher to get that lower tuning he liked...I still miss John coming to NYC...Jack Baker

I lost this clip forever too and was so sad.... This is such a perfect representation of the man and his music... Thanks for posting this gem again!!!

This was from a piece a reporter did. It's from the Tall Stacks Festival in Cincinnati, OH.

I saw John Hartford in concert at the Paul Green Theatre in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in the 1990's and he played banjo, fiddle, guitar and ALSO THE WASHBOARD he played with his FEET while playing the other instruments. He was amazing. I always treasure having seeing him in concert. I also went to see Doc Watson months later in the same theatre.

I believe this clip came from the local tennesse pbs crew as the did a piece on the cumberland river -- very grateful for this to have been recorded -- John is a true legend of music and american culture -- time took him to soon but I guess that big river in the sky needed another pilot

Jamie Hartford does a fabulous version of this song on his album "Part of Your History." Check it out; your soul will thank you.

Mike Pingleton

fabulous. Post-1992 is my guess, given the 'achy-breaky heart' reference at the end.

Graham Scott

thank you dickted, yes I had this bout 3yrs ago, but lost it somehow an not found it till now, and yes again, it was recorded at his home I do remember that, by a guy working for a university or national geographic, something like that, thank you again graham
