“Far-out Johnny well I heard him say, stretched out back on the waterbed...”Bluegrass music is a thing of the past and the SAME for Rockn’Roll”.. So I loaned him 2 or 3 dollars and gave me the LATEST news and left me here with a Rolling Stone and the Steamboat Whistle Blues!

I’ll tear off down the river some day before I’m through and come back here and pick it out with the Steamboat Whistle Blues...

John Hartford “The Steamboat Whistle Blues” 1971. What goes around comes around and the industry has NO clue except the dollars they rake in and royalties they shouldn’t be getting.

Great song about the constancy of REAL America, and real life and the bearers of REAL history:
With Kissimmee native Vassar Clements then genius legendary fiddle player who once worked at Kennedy Space Center!

Thanks for posting that. Vassar Clements was about my favorite fiddler ever, though I never got to see him play.
