Mike Leonard Interviews John Hartford

[@HouseOfThe8Strings]

I can’t be somebody who sits around and says how things should be, I have to go with how things are. What a profound statement.

[@001Geoff]

John comes came across as a nice person, he must be missed by many.

[@wolfman4162]

Very humble man

[@taylorcoble5313]

A true American treasure.

[@YooperBanjo]

He is 100% on point with his assessment of River vs Railroad vs Highway transportation. Every word is the truth.

[@zydecobill]

Such a remarkable man.

John speaks just like a Missourian. You never really know when their done with their statement. :)

[@tomokra]

[@johnwise7693]

Yes, and the interviewer didn't catch on to that. He should have left more space before jumping in with his next question.

Great loss... Fantastic

Well it's too thick to navigate
And it's too thin to plow
So let him go on mama
And don't put him down for it now~John Hartford
