Name	Hartford, John
Role	Banjoist
Places of residence	St. Louis, Missouri/New York City, New York/Nashville, Tennessee
Sphere Of Activity	John Hartford - Historical - An internationally known multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and entertainer, John Hartford became the face of the banjo to a new generation during the 1960s. After penning the megahit Gentle On My Mind, Hartford was a regular guest on the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour as well as the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, all of which gave him the financial independence to pursue his passions of music and riverboating. Always musically adventurous, Hartford was a co-founder of the Newgrass movement in the late 1960s while remaining passionate and faithful to his roots in tradition music. With many songs left unsung, Hartford passed away in 2001 at the age of 63. Johnny Baier, American Banjo Museum
