#Folk #Cover #JohnHartford - Hudba
This is very special to me. Many many years ago, when the Aeroplane album came out, I was waiting outside the gym at a local college where a concert was to take place. A beat up car showed up. The performers got out & I helped them carry in their instruments. One of them asked if there was somewhere to eat. I told them of a pizza & sub shop a few minutes away. That's how I got to have dinner with the late great John Hartford, Norman Blake, Tut Taylor & Vassar Clements. Later on, while John Hartford was using the facilities, I held his fiddle for him. One of the greatest memories of my Life.
Great story. I discovered John when he did the "Down from the Mountain" concert/film. I've been hooked ever since.
Son! That is epic!
What a fine memory. ✌️
You made my day with that memory. Beats the hell out of the time I was peeing next to Poco's Rusty Young, just before he took to the stage at Portland's Euphoria Tavern in April 1983.
I hope you tap danced with it!
Nice job! While Glen Campbell is best known for doing this, John Hartford wrote it. I had the pleasure of playing a gig with him back in the seventies. He was a gentle giant. We were a rock band and were on a program of 4 acts of which he was the headliner. We did our best loud show (lol) and he came on right after us in his solo, genteel way and just proceeded to slay the crowd. He was so good. We were humbled that day. I never forgot it. It's not how loud and energetic you are, it's how you relate to the crowd. He had them in the palm of his hand so to speak from the first note. Standing ovation when he finished. He was special.
Glen Campbell is smiling down on you both from heaven. That was just beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️
There are 2 amazing things about how John Hartford wrote this song.
1. He wrote it beginning to end in about 12 minutes!
2. He wrote this "country" song based on the movie "Dr. Zhivago" where Zhivago loses Lara and is walking down the railroad tracks.
Ty i learned something here❤
I actually remember a snippet of an Ed Sheeran interview where he said that the groundwork for any good song is made in under half an hour.
If I was John Hartford, I would be wonderfully delighted to find this cover by Elle and Toni on Sunday 💚💚💚💚💚
Alas, poor John, and Glen, too, have joined that great Hobo caravan in the sky. I hope even now they're sharing coffee from that gurgling tin can in that train yard. Yes, a GREAT song.
I can picture John Hartford dancing a rythm wearing his black derby hat. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Skipping in de Mississippi dew
I just want to cry, you’re both so beautiful and amazing. All I had to do was think of Glen and could not hold back my tears. You done him proud.
Heavenly performance: no glitz, no fancy anything... just pure talent coming through!❤
This song would often be playin on the 8-track in my Dad's old red truck when I was a kid. Yesterday would have been his 88th birthday. Thank you for doing what you do. And please come back to BC. ❤❤
Toni is such a super talent. I'd love to see her in a real deal bluegrass band.
John Hartford is/was one of the unsung greats of American music. Discovering him was one of the greatest gifts of my entire life. Beautiful performance, thank you.
Wholeheartedly agree! Aeroplane, Morning Bugle and Mark Twang are my favourites, but I love all his stuff. Got to see him perform solo at York U. in Toronto in 1975.
Pure Americana so well done. Thank you both.
I had the pleasure to meet John and hung out for a short while in the back room before a show at Michigan State around 1978. He played banjo, the autoharp, and tapped his shoes on a board with a acoustic pickup. He sang "I'll Fly Away" on the autoharp. I remember it like it was yesterday...
Deeply pleasing to see young people keeping this exceptionally well penned classic alive. Well done friends. Bravo.
Great song! I grew up listening to Glen Campbell🪕🎸 John Hartford is good too! Lovely job ladies🎤💜😻
Just when you think this can't get any better, those harmonies at 2:03 come along and take your breath away.
A special thanks for this one. "Gentle on My Mind" is a nearly forgotten classic from my youth.. at a time in life when I was too new to appreciate it's perfection. Bless you and bless the late, great John Hartford.
Amen
Too true. It was the same for me. Little did I know then that great songs like this don't just come around that often.
I can feel my hat shielding the Sun, and the sound of the bugs whizzing around while listening to this. The tune and words wonderfully capture the mood.
Glen is up there smiling down at you both.
I love this song ladies.........SO GLAD YOU GRACED US WITH IT!!!!!! Toni you scare me.......WOW(banjo playing without thinking)!!!!!!!
Elle so good.....Such Justice to the song!!!!!! You two together........GOLD!!!!!
Lindgren & Cordova are a modern day Simon and Garfunkel!! Thank you for the incredible music. 🎸
Pleased to introduce myself
I'm Bobby Dylan. (The young Bobby Dylan).
Nice. I’d do it faster. It’s the niftiest walk down song.
Sunday evening here in the UK, and this is just the job for gentling my mind before heading to bed. Absolutely beautiful as always, and what a great song to cover. Gorgeous harmonies, beautiful guitar playing and brilliant banjo picking. Thank you! Love these Sunday morning (evening) videos.
Thank you for keeping real music alive. 🔥👏🏼
It's like lighting a brightly burning candle to remember the beloved old songs, songwriters and singers
thanks so much!
You're both amazing. Thank you.
God dam this is the most amazing thing I’ve heard tonight.
Great performance. I never noticed how beautifully blue Toni's eyes are!
Sublime. Long ago memories of my Mum and Dad listening to Glen Campbell albums. Thankyou.
Thanks for this song. I've always loved Gentle on my mind. It was a sad day when he died. Thank s to
This beautiful song suites your voices, your harmonies and the instruments. Beautiful song from beautiful musicians. Many thanks Elle and Toni
Love this John Hartford classic.
As a kid I used to play this song along with Glen Campbell as I was learning guitar. Yes, I'm that old and proud of it. But not as proud as you two should be with your beautiful playing and singing!
I'm right there with ya.
When I was eleven my folks bought me my first guitar for Christmas and a Glen Campbell guitar book came with it.
I learned all the songs and still love them all these years down the road.
Glen Campbell was such s powerful inspiration for young guitar players.
THAT CHRISTMAS FEELING is still my favorite Christmas album.
I'm just sitting here enjoying the heck out of this song as I have with many of your songs. All of the sudden, WAM! Look at those blue eyes! Shazam!
Beautiful cover of a beautiful song Toni and Elle. I play piano but I had banjo lessons 50 years ago. 2 Summers ago I took out my banjo to see if I remembered anything and made a video playing Cripple Creek. 🎹 👍 🪕
I'm a HUGE John Hartford fan! This is so wonderful. Beautiful signing and banjo.
You made my Sunday so happy.
Beautiful. I never tire of the imagery of this song. Especially growing up near a train yard and there would be 'hobos' sitting by that caldron over the fire in the cold evenings. I would imagine they probably had someone gentle on their minds as well. Well done ladies.
I WAS IN THE 7 TH GRADE ( 1967 ) WHEN THIS SONG FIRST PLAYED ON THE RADIO . I HAVE LOVED MR. HARTFORD'S SONG SINCE . YOU GIRLS NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU NOW HAVE A NEW FAN FOR LIFE KEEP PLAYIN'
Oh, so ,so very good; takes this old guy for a ride back in time! Thanks Elle and Tony!
This is one of my favorite bluegrass songs. John Hartford came to my hometown (Kyoto, Japan) in 1979, when I was a university student. John held a concert at a small live house. I love his low-tuned banjo playing. Thank you for taking me to my young days.
素敵な思い出ですね
The best thing about the Glen Campbell Good Time Hour was the musicians it introduced me to including the riverboat captain John Hartford.
Glen used to open the Goodtime Hour with this song and with the help of John Hartford. They appeared together many times on the show, pickin and singing some great tunes.
This tune takes me back ❤ thank you for sharing.
Love you Elle & Toni ~❤~
I've read somewhere and seen at least a couple of youtube videos that mentioned that Glen Campbell never learned to read music, that all of renditions were learned by ear. What a great ear he had!!!!
Elle and Toni two of my favourite musicians and singers! Absolutely love this 💕💕💕
I'm working a long day today, alone in the hospital, and one of my patients is restless, hallucinating, etc. Probably early dementia.
So I found this and played it, then made a Playlist of you ladies (Over the Rainbow, Sam Cooke, Big Rock Candy...etc )
I think it relaxed him, and it sure made the last 30 minutes nicer for me too ❤
I’ve loved glen campbells songs for decades
This is one of my favorites
Thank you both so much!💕
love y'all from 60 miles southwest of new orleans, bayou country.
Home recovering from a serious injury u 2 have brought some joy in my life Love u 2 so much THANK YOU 😊
I was never a great entertainer but what I was exceptionally good at was helping young people. One year I taught a 15-year old to play guitar. I never charged money for my teaching. About this time, I and a friend started a music festival so I took this student and found 4 others and trained them on some instruments an within a couple weeks they were headliners. The first student was the only one who could play B7 so I told them to just strum air when they got to that part and my first student would play that chord plus I would play louder on my banjo. Audience never knew the difference and the kids got a standing ovation in a theater.
I taught them how to "play" an audience and they loved that. Eventually I introduced the first student to a friend of mine who was a session-band player for Patsy Kline in Nashville years before.. Not long after that that young man, who with a little help, developed the voice like John Denver. The session player arranged for him to go to Nashville and try out in a talent show and came in number 5 out of 2500 people. I had originally taught him how to play the correct musical way on Ghost Riders in the Sky, a song written by Stan Jones and later performed by a famous cowboy band and by Johnny Cash. He came home and he and his girlfriend whom I had taught to play electric bass, and I even played at Death Valley Days of 49 Encampment in front of over a thousand people. He even sold $4500 worth of CD's after we performed "Riders", and "On the Road Again" for 2 hours. We continued to play together and I would help his sister find someone to give her free fiddle lessons, and I got her to be a part of a bluegrass band I was in. The session player gave this young man, Joshua is his name, an $8500 Taylor guitar.
Later I introduced a young girl who was in my original festival group to this session player, Don, and she worked with Don who gave her a $2500 Taylor guitar. Joshua eventually became a good lead picker and could do well playing the lead on "Sweet Home Alabama."
We tried out for the Texaco Country Showdown in a few cities twice but didn't go farther. We got as far as earning $500 but that was all. This showdown paid the winning amateur group $100,000 and a recording contract. But we played at a cowboy festival in a big area and won a cowboy idol contest, playing two cowboy songs, a Willie Nelson one and "Rocky Top." No real cowboy stuff but the audience loved hearing a voice like John Denver and me playing Rocky Top. Another $500 win.
Later I helped a young neighbor learn to play the bass and the the guitar and I gave her a cassette tape on how to yodel. If one of you girls can learn to yodel, and audience will go bananas. I took this girl to that same cowboy festival In a neighboring state and we were not signed up to play and she wondered how we could get in, so we found a Gazeebo and she had my Taylor guitar and I had my Gibson banjo and I told her we were going to play. She was nervous about that, but she did well. She performed the Suzy Bogguss cover of "Someday Soon" with Suzy's voice break at the end. I had her play, "I want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart", another Suzy Bogguss cover song of Patsy Montana who was on the yodel tape I gave her. Pretty soon we had a crowd and then we went to a path near an eating place and got another crowd. From this I was able to sign her up for open mike. As an entertainer, I know other entertainers so I told young Erika that she needed to perform without me this once. And I went and found a yodeler who had made money in Nashville in the 60's and told him I wanted him to hear her. He was so impressed that he had her on a radio interview and later invited her and me and my wife and her dad to his lakeside lodge to perform.
Maybe you girls know all this but take any information from anyone like me that will help you. Learn to yodel. I think there is still "Homespun Tapes" where you can learn from real professionals in anything. Audiences like it when I yodel or sing Riders in the sky with a voice break at then end, but they like it ten times more if a young lady or ladies do it. I see you doing a Garth Brooks song. We did "The Dance" and George Straits "The Fireman". Audiences love songs that are familiar to them. When you get real famous you can do your own. Good luck.
My mother could yodel from birth! She made her own up, though totally untrained, and won the high school talent contest. Unfortunately there was no money for guitar lessons what with, I think, 10 siblings. She surely could sing as well as Loretta! Had 9 living children whom she loved so that took all her time and attention...I can only barely imitate her...😢I still love to hear yodeling. ...blessings to you and all your fans; you two are terrific!
@@wendynine-sc2sv If you are interested in learning to yodel, there was a CD and it was sold on "Homespun tapes". That is how I learned. This CD has the yodeling of Roy Rogers, Jiimmie Rogers, and Patsy Montana, the first female to sell a million records.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5u Thanx - very thoughtful...blessed 🐝....
Beautiful. Brought back childhood memories.
Your beautiful smiles make listening to this even more enjoyable! ❤😊😊
Reina is one of my favorite country music singer.
I was in middle school when this charted. I was a little rocker and my parents were Symphony subscribers and jazz fans so nobody in our house was watching The Glenn Campbell Show but I loved this song. Years later I saw John Hartford at Ebbitts Field in Denver. Thank's Toni and Elle (still want to type Reina but ...) for so many Sunday Mornings.
Beautiful, takes me back to my youth
This song, is special to me. Tears of joy fill my face, and I am back to college in 1967, driving my 1963 Chevy II listening to Glen as the Chester County scenery is floating by. Toni and Elle, you all are perfect! Looking forward to many more musical interludes! Many thanks!!!
A unique song, with its subtle undertow of lyrics creating a complex emotional life and individual personality in just a few brushstrokes.
Undertow! You got that right.
It is always a pleasure to hear your voices. Thank you.
As a young guitar player, Glen Campbell was a powerful influence. Gentle on my Mind might have been the first 45 RPM I ever bought. I have fallen in love with your versions of great songs. Singing and playing them because they are simply good songs. Thanks for this one.
"Gentle on My Mind" was one of those comfortable songs that's been around and familiar since the 60s. I think that today, listening to you two, I really heard the lyrics for the first time and found myself musing fondly about a few wonderful people who somehow vanished from my life decades ago. {Sniff} Thanks.
Thank you it’s very nice see and hear your Sunday Morning Songs, you are both beautiful and so Talented.
Mmm, love some John Hartford. You guys do him proud.
I always liked this song, but never knew it's name. Thanks. Great rendition
As ALWAYS, FANTASTIC!!!!! Such talent!!!!! Thanks for sharing your talents!!!!
Thank you for taking me back to a good place some Fifty odd years ago. It is good and sweet!
Big John Hartford fan here. Thanks!
I just love you two, thank you so much for sharing your fabulous talent! God bless you two….can’t wait for the next one!
Simply amazing how you both seem to be able to do these songs so seamlessly and so smooth..like listening to silk , if silk could sing ..the playing and vocals are so well done 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Glen was a superstar, wrecking crew beachboy solo❤ Toni your eyes look super blue in your video thanks ladies.
Awesome, beautiful song!!!!
Well, all I can say, is, once again, you two supremely, talented ladies never cease to amaze me with your musicality and your beautiful harmonies….I am 62 years old, and grew up as a Glen Campbell fan, watching any at all shows and specials of his own, and other stars and performers with my mother, who was also a huge fan of his, and I was blown away by his singing and his guitar playing from the beginning… I don’t know if you ladies ever saw the documentary on him some years ago, but even towards the end, before his mental faculties completely left him, when he performed one of his last shows, the dexterity with which he could still pick and play guitar was nothing short of a miracle… Thank you so much for this, because while I am not as familiar with John Hartford, this song has been a favorite of mine since I first heard Campbell do it probably a good 55 years ago 🧑🏻👩🏼🎼🎤🎤🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Long ago and far awAy memories, thank you
True musicianship with a load of butterflies.
Hearing you sing this brings back a memory of riding in the car with my mom when I was nine or ten, and hearing this song on the radio. That was beautiful, thanks!
I didn’t find out about Glens true talents until a few years before he passed. He was a gifted guitar player, the guy could play with the best of them. You two did right by singing his song. Thanks ladies 😊
Glen was very humble about his approach to this song. He said he didn't change a thing about it that John Hartford hadn't put in, except to raise the tempo a bit. They became good friends and would appear together in concert and on TV. John on his banjo and Glen pickin his guitar.
Same here .. glen was amazing!!!
Fantastic, ladies! I'm watching this on Sunday evening before bed, and what a treat to end the day with. Bravo!
Such a BEAUTIFUL song!!! 😊❤️❤️
To do justice to such a historic song is challenging but you both took it to another level, well done and keep up the great tunes !😊
Hi no problem hope all is good!
Reina's voice is gentle on my mind.
Lovely, just plain lovely. Thank you for sharing your talents and loveliness.
Nice rendition! I watched an interview with Alice Cooper. He and Glenn Campbell were pals in Arizona and used to golf together. One day they were late for a tee time and were caught by a police camera. Alice said the photo of their wide, shocked eyes in the front seat is still on the police station wall. RIP Glenn.
🇨🇦 I have always loved his tune .Thanks 👍👍👍
Took me back in time nice to see you both playin the old songs...❤
❤ didnt recognize the title but immediately recognised as you started singing. Took me back to my childhood when (this and many similar songs) were the soundtrack to my early years 🥰
Beautiful ... Joyful ... Spiritual
I got to see Hartford just before he died. Amazing. Rip, Captain.
Sweet. Beautiful. Smooth. Gentle. Many thanks.
Great to see you back ladies. Great performance as usual. Always loved this song. Dean Martin also did a great version. What always amazed me though was the amount of verses and very complicated lyrics and words. Never knew how artists could memorise the words and do it live on stage. Were you both cheating a bit and have the words running up an audio que. wouldn’t minded if you did. If not, very well done. Whatever, great singing and playing. 🙋♂️🇬🇧👏👏👏
I know i'm the lucky winner again,
i love your art in the dead of the night..
thank you both of you.
Wow, haven't heard that since I was a kid, thanks for the flashback.
Such a beautiful song and beautiful version of this amazing song. Thank you both always. ☮️
Very nice Version from this Great Song. Thanks from Germany
Beautiful rendition! As always 🥰❤❤❤
Every musical instrument that Toni plays, she plays exceptionally well.
Your voices are as gentle and comforting as the song.
I'll never get tired of hearing ya'll sing fantastic job good song
Outstanding
Unfortunately I was cutting onions when I found this on utube…won’t make that mistake again. I’m a John Hartford purist but you two now have a place in my memory…right next to John.
❤❤❤Thank you very much for the wonderful sound🤗🌷🙏
That orange clad person is a very intelligent player, her casual focus is superb
At 13, my siblings and divorced mom moved to Vegas Summer of ‘68. This cool dude stayed at our house for a few days. His sleeping bag stayed “rolled up and stashed behind your couch.” Thanks again for your art!
my world just stops when I here this song, 🖐😎💜
