Two of my heroes. Have met TX Shorty many times but only admired John from afar. Knew they were buds . Little different from his contest days. But soooooo good. Thanks for posting.

@mcdonaldrt That's ok you're entitled to your opinion. Dusty Miller is one of my favorite songs as well.

I wish you didn't have to pull the religion card... Regardless, this is seriously one of the best fiddle jobs I have heard on the internet! One of my favorite songs and I never get tired of hearing it.

and the very talented Bob Carlin on banjo.

@kenhill295 Funny. Shorty turned me onto John.

VALE John Hartford. A better old-time style musician - who did so very much in keeping the old traditions alive so well & for so long, will not be found for a long time to come. JH was also an engrossing story-teller ..his tale told here is a perfect demo of these rare traits. And Texas Shorty is a fine companion for JH here as well. All serious JH fans should already have his very last album "Hamilton Ironworks" in their music collections. Gene Goforth's Rounder CD is also a must-get !!

Simply awesome. John turned me on to Shorty right after they did a CD together. I'd never heard such fiddling! I kept the CD in my car for about 5 years. John got really sick that summer and looked even worse than he does here. That fall he came to stay with us and looked great! The next few months were a rapid decline. I still miss him every single day.
