I met John Hartford when he was visiting radio stations pushing "Gentle on My Mind." We hit it off.

Four years later he came by Philly, and we had lunch along with a reporter from the "Philadelphia Inquirer." I schooled the reporter on other songs Hartford had written, such as "California Earthquake." John said, "Don't make light of 'Gentle.' It bought me a whole slew of apartment buildings in L.A."
