It ...Ok, having opened my big mouth I looked it up. It seems that Hartford played in the Bay Area, not St. Louis. (the cite is the Goldsmith reprint of the AC28 liner notes noted above). Hartford seems to be left out of a lot of accounts, even if the St. Louis thing turns out to be a figment of my imagination. <br /><br />http://books.google.com/books?id=LgAGzopOTbYC&pg=PA220&dq=%22john+hartford%22+%22old+and+in+the+way%22&hl=en&ei=SjbUTdLcPNO4twe1-qSwCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CEEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22john%20hartford%22%20%22old%20and%20in%20the%20way%22&f=falseCorry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18366371.post-11537758754062540252011-05-18T12:19:18.094-06:002011-05-18T12:19:18.094-06:00Unfortunately, I doubt the June 4th date.Here'...Unfortunately, I doubt the June 4th date.Here's what Vassar says:<br /><br />"We met the day before the first show in Boston, rehearsed that night and started playing the very next day".<br /><br />Sources:<br />(1) Rowan, Peter, Vassar Clements, and David Grisman. 2004 [1997].

Really, I'm not making this up, but I'm behind by about 100 posts and I'll never catch up, so I thought I'd just mention it here.<br /><br />Somebody in the band (not Jerry) said that they had a St. Louis gig and that Hartford sat in, but I'm too distracted to try and trace it backwards. June 4 is the only day that works.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.com
