Grassroots to Bluegrass - 1999

John Hartford - Boys From North Carolina 

I have a few comments about this clip. I couldn't help but notice Brother Oz holding the microphone for John's tune. If you knew how much John admired Oz you would understand what that must have meant for John. Just to mention a few folks sitting around John, that is Jesse McRenolds sitting in back and to the right of John and Bill Clifton in front of him. Near the end of the tune you get a glimpse of Sonny & Bobby Osborne.

I wonder if any of you know whether John wrote that tune or what the origin of it is. That happens to be one of my favorite tunes that John does and I'm not sure that I ever heard it performed by anybody else.

This clip is from an 8 Volume set that can be purchase on line from Gabriel CommunicationsCountry's Family Reunion line of products.
