How have I never seen this!!! This is my Pep-Paw and the man who raised me and I have done my best to keep up with all of his work. I spent a lot of my childhood on a tour bus and saw pretty much all of his shows during that time. So for me to find something that I have never seen that is this AWESOME! It makes me smile because it shows me how much content he put out and that makes me happy to think about finding other treasures of my Grandfather’s that I have yet to find. I love you Pep-Paw I miss you everyday 💙

I saw John Hartford perform this song around this time, or a bit later, in a very small venue, with his son. Such a beautiful and haunting song. I have never gotten it out of my head in all these years. Thank you for sharing this.

There's a beauty and a yearning in this music that echoes down through the millennia and nobody understood that better than John Hartford, and from a technical standpoint nobody phrased better or played with a more genuine, affecting feel. Just a huge genius who gathered up so much history and emotion in himself and turned it into art. I heard you play live, sir, and it was a privilege. Much gratitude and love forever. A musician's musician and artist's artist.

I have only just discovered this treasure of a man - how enormously sad to have never known this incredible talent - all of you who have seen him perform live count yourselves beyond lucky. This little snippet from many of his performances is my go to piece that helps me bring back calm.

The song makes me happy and sad simultaneously... what a great work of art! It makes me so nostalgic for simpler times when folks interacted with nature, built things themselves and didn't have these nihilistic attitudes we see today, with overly urbanized living.

GUM-TREE CANOE Words by S. S. Steele; Music by A. F. Winnemore 1847 Banjo Tuned E, Key D Capo 1 ¾ Time Gum Tree Canoe D G D Chorus: x 2 Singing row away, row, o'er the waters so blue, A D Like a feather we sail in our gum-tree canoe. D G D On Tombigbee River so bright I was born, G In a hut made of husks of the tall yellow D corn G D And there I first met with my Julia so true A D And I rowed her about in our gum-tree canoe. All the day in the field the soft cotton I hoe, I think of my Julia and sing as I go, Oh, I catch her a bird with a wing of true blue, And at night sail her round in our gum-tree canoe. With my hands on the banjo and toe on the oar, I sing to the sound of the river's soft roar, While the stars they look down at my Julia so true And dance in her eye in our gum-tree canoe. One night the stream bore us so far away That we couldn't come back so we thought we'd just stay, Oh, we spied a tall ship with a flag of true blue, And it took us in tow with our gum-tree canoe. www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/john-hartford/gum-tree-canoe-23784.html

Yes, it was from a UK documentary called ''Echoes Of America" on Channel Four. I also saw it advertised for sale in an early 2000s edition of Banjo Newsletter from the british filmmaker (name I can't remember, unfortunately) Hartford played this song also on a VHS tape ''Learning To Smile..." which I think you can find on this site too. It seems to be filmed on the same location as this, but not the same session (or same year ?)
