The dobro in this version along with the harmonies is nothing short of heart wrenching...

i can't listen to this song by the scene without getting a lump in my throat. i sure miss John Duffey, Mike Auldridge and so many other great musicians who have passed on. as you listen to your old favorite's from the past, it can sometime put you in a blue mood. may they all RIP.

One-of-the-best-tunes-ever! Nice writing Herb Pedersen....

Will never forget all the times I saw them do this at the old Birchmere in Alexandria, VA back in the late 70's. they played every Thursday night.I don't think this crowd was ready for Duffy' sense of humor!

Denise Boucher

Seldom scene is awesome.

Thomas Hamilton

John was the Seldom Scene. I feel so lucky to have seen them twice in the '80s

Ranald Rasmussen

Yes, "perfection" is the only apt adjective that can be used to describe their performance.

Perfection. In the early 80s used to go see them at the Birchmere regularly.

This takes me way, way back. For me the journey started @ the Red Fox Inn in Bethesda MD. Now it's probably a parking garage or the foundation of a highrise; but back then, the early 70's it was a Bluegrass club & if you went there you went to listen. For us it was "The Country Gentlemen" on Thursday nights. Then one Thursday the Gentlemen didn't show up, it was these "Seldom Scene" guys, we had no idea who they were but the waitress told us to stick around, it would be worth it. It was. It really was. "Wait a Minute", "Rider", a few more gems & we had a new favorite band! Then one Thursday the "Scene" didn't show up, it was a new band, "Hickory Wind".  Again we were about to leave but again the waitress assured us it'd be worth our while to stick around, and once again we did. Sure enough, by the end of the 1st set of "Appalachian Gypsy music" newgrass more than bluegrass, string band music flavored with jazz and country western, these guys listened to one another! Virtuosos, their picking seemed effortless, the instruments were played in ensemble fashion. Each instrument blended with and complemented the others. With the right kind of ears when Hickory Wind were ON, you could pick up hints of the Old World roots of bluegrass, Reels, hornpipes, the gypsy string sounds.  Yes you guessed it, we had a new, new favorite band. They put out 3 or maybe 4 albums, I only have 3. I wonder what happened to Sam Morgan, Bob Shank, Pete Tenney, Glen McCarthy, Mark Walbridge?  I hope they're still playing ... I don't mean any of this to detract from The Seldom Scene, as if anything could. No, just call it an old guy reminiscing.

Oh, God. Tears! The angels are singing. Herb Pederson wrote this gem. John Duffey is incredible. He channels Bill Monroe.  But there is nobody like him. Holy Cow. Check out the line up now as well. They are amazing. One suggestion. Like Tony Rice, I think that they should do a whole album of Gordon Lightfoot songs. Thanks for posting!

Stephen Jones
