This is a fine tune I heard John Hartford do.
This band features his last guitar player, Chris Sharp.

A blog for bluegrass fans to talk about bluegrass or whatever and to check up on the Java Brothers Bluegrass Band from Radford, Virginia. We are progressive, but pretty much only to the extent that we'll play new songs as hard driving bluegrass. We love Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, The Seldom Scene, JD Crowe, Tony Rice, Sam Bush, the Country Gentlemen, the Beatles, the Stones, and all the greats.

What band is this? Looks like the performance is in a community college classroom.
I saw Chris Sharp with Hartford in 1999. Sharp stands like a statue, save for his fast-moving hands. He sometimes wears a brimmed hat and Hartford almost knocked it off with a bowstroke when they got too close.
This is a band (I think) that Sharp put together Post Hartford. (Good Band Name "Post Hartford" - might should save that one for when the JBs dissolve amidst bitter lawsuits!) From what I remember of the notes I saw, this is somewhere near Bloomington, IN and it was associated with David Long (and/or David Long w/ Mike Compton (fellow Hartford alum)).
