HARTFORD FESTIVAl continued from 49
bluegrass players, Hartford died in 2001 at the age of 63 after a two-decade long battle with non-Hodgkin’ s lymphoma.
“ I do not believe John Hartford set out to carve a legacy. I believe John Hartford was one of the rare ones. Hartford started something by doing things his way,” said John Hotze, festival founder and childhood friend of Hartford.“ His music consisted of deep serious lyrics that would burst into whimsy or vice versa. Just when you started to take him seriously, he would break into some falsetto just to have fun, or just when you thought he was all about having fun, he’ d make you sit up straight and bring tears or deep contemplation with a heartfelt original.”
Burkhart said he and Hotze work hard to bring the best performers and create the best atmosphere each year. The work can be exhausting, but keeping Hartford’ s legacy alive inspires them to keep going.
“ Much of our motivation comes straight from a line in the John Hartford song,“ Josephs Dream.”“ Just when you think it can’ t get no better then it does,” he said. •
