My friend Johnny Campbell's Dad taught me this song in Nashville this year. Love John Hartford's version and I consider Mike Compton and Chris Sharp and Mark Schatz great musicians and friends!
Jubilee was a TV series created by me while working at Kentucky Educational Television (KET) in Kentucky. It was distributed nationally by KET This clip was obviously taped from air as it aired on WNED. This took place in Bardstown, KY.not Berea, KY. It is one tune from a one hour program and one of two shows I did with John. I was the producer/director. :-)
that's wonderful backstory, thank you for your work on this.
The audio is horribly low and the quality of the encoding is lacking...
The full set is/was on the KET streaming website for awhile. I believe if you search hard enough you can dig up a much better quality version than these clips.
I really need to delete them.
Glad I didn't, I wouldn't have heard your story :D
HAHA, here's the upgrade:

Russ, What are you up to these days? I got to catch up with John when he brought these guys to Byron Berline's Festival in Guthrie. I thought they all did a fine job. John was in good spirits, but weak . . . I was glad to have that time with him.

Awesome! I've still got this on VHS I taped off Channel 54 in Aug or Sept 2002
I love the tune!! I loved the way John moved his feet during the bass break! John you are missed. I hope you ,Monroe and Cash and Carter Family& Frazier Moss are tearin' it up somewhere!
John is almost the source of this tune. He learned it from a collection of fiddle and fife music from western PA collected by Samuel Bayard of Penn State U in the 30's-40's. The Wilders popularized it and now the tune is in many an old time fiddler's repertoire.
Totally Great Performance!!! Thank you for posting
this☺
here is a MUCH NEEDED upgrade:

Thanks for sharing, Boss...
Thank you sir!! or mrs :)
While all that is true about where John Hartford got the tune, it is worth noting that Iowa fiddler Dwight Lamb plays the same tune under the name "The Woodpile Tune", which he learned from his father.
Johnny85er, Thanks for this great video. FYI from a Kentuckian, someone has probably already corrected this, but Bardstown is where the festival was, and is pretty far from Berea College. Berea is south of Lexington, and Bardstown is southeast of Louisville. Here is a Louisville story about the festival and some performers who were to perform. Thanks for this

To be a fly on the wall...
1998 Kentucky Folk Festival in Bardstown is the only date I have been able to pin down.
This tune is called The Squirrel Hunters
ooh, these are great, whats the date of these?
Yes, that is a fill-in name for the less politically correct name that he learned it by (a name normally associated with a still different tune). He recorded it on his "Hell Agin the Barn Door" CD on Rounder Records.
Does anybody know who's on mandolin on this recording?
Mike Compton - Mandolin
@@johnny85er Thank you!
