Bells of St. Mary's
Missouri Ridge Runners - John Harford, Paul Breidenbach, John Hotze, & David Zef
You can certainly tell John was younger and new at broadcasting, although his solo vocal doesn't sound bad at all on this show. You might also note that he announced himself as John Harford rather than Hartford. Paul does a splendid job with lead guitar and myself a pretty poor job of second guitar. I was probably nervous. When I practiced with John, he usually called out the chord changes as we played. Paul also handled the dobro in these recordings, although he was fairly new at it. I imagine it was the one he purchased from Shot Jackson but I will have to let him discern that and let me know. John of course is outstanding, showing his musical talents at this young stage of his career.
