message: Except for a little information on his childhood and his death, this article has practically no information on Hartford's personal life. Did he have any brothers or sisters, wives or girlfriends (or boyfriends), children, etc? Among "Associated acts" in the infobox is someone named Jamie Hartford: is that a brother, son, cousin, or is the same surname just a coincidence?--Jim10701 (talk) 04:53, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I know this can't be placed in the article as it would be considered OR, but it provides a bit of insight to who John Hartford was. It was part of an interview I did with Al Harris.
Back in the early 70's Hartford performed a concert in our small town. A local songwriter, Al Harris, was the opening act for this concert. The concert was put on by Kirby Hamman who had played in a group with Harris prior to that time. Harris enjoyed much of the same music as Hartford which he included in his opening act. Two things Harris remembers from this event are as follows. The first: During Harris' performance of a Hank Snow tune, Harris happened to glance to off stage where Hartford was standing, eyes closed and singing along with Harris. 
The second: After his set, Harris left the stage to great applause. As he passed Hartford, John told Harris, "Al, you've gotta go back out there. Those folks love you!" While this may be unprecedented, Hartford continued to encourage Harris to do an encore which he eventually did. Not something one might expect from a "headliner".

thread_title:  Partial insight into the man 

message: Hi all,
this source does not necessarily appear academic, despite being published through some generic Academia site, but on first glance it seems to have to insightful and verifiable information on John. I think it could at least be used as a new coat of paint, to add some nice detail: /John_Hartford_as_I_knew_him-with-cover-page.pdf?
It's chock full of quotes that I'd like to hunt down first but they look good. I'll try and give the article a fuller read after work instead of during it later.
I'm a somewhat newfound John Hartford fan, first heard Aereo Plane last November or so and I've been hooked ever since. I think I'll be working on this article quite a bit in the future!

thread_title:  What do we think about this source for more info on John? 

message: John's home is still standing, complete with the steamboat lookout he had built.  As of the date of this comment, a person might stay for a few days in the home he built, and take in the view of something that inspired him.  I'll refrain from saying more and won't add this to the article because it is original research, but I think it's worth knowing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:EA01:1090:5570:E90C:BC2D:5065 (talk) 16:36, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
