John Hartford warm-up
David Best
I am new to rec.music.folk. Glad to find you.
May I pick your bains a bit? I'm trying to find a recording of a
particular John Hartford song. I don't know the title or the album.
All I know is that it's supposedly a song he played to warm on up
before concerts. It's a clever little thing where he sings the chord
names, announces the minor part, and says "make a little run" at the
place where he makes a little run. A cute piece and not at all silly
(IMHO).
Does anyone know what song I'm describing. Some people I used to pick
with said he put it on one of his albums. Many thanks to anyone who
can identify this for me.
Oh, I looked on the pertinent folk links I found at Yahoo. No luck.

It's called "My Rag" ("just come to think of it as 'just my rag'"), and
it's on AEREOPLANE, which may or may not be still in print.
Definitely clever, definitely not silly.

Wwhoops, it is on "Morning Bugle." Sorry. That's what I get for reading
folk music posts at work.

I think it was well over a year ago that someone from Rounder mentioned -
either here or in the BGRASS-L (list) - that they had purchased the rights
from Warner to reissue Aereoplane and a second album and had received the
master of one disk but not the artwork, and the artwork-but-not-the-tape of
the other one. Either it's taking them a *very* long time to resolve this
problem or I have missed the actual release of the CD's.
