John Hartford - Gentle On My Mind

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of John Hartford performing the writer of this song "Gentle On My Mind" that mellow-voice Glenn Campbell made a hit out of.
"Gentle On My Mind" lyrics
It's knowin' that your door is always open

Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled

And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads

Nnice banjo and a great song.

Here’s something I didn’t know until recently, CW5 Jack Cardwell. John Hartford is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville, TN, and his grave is just 30 miles from my front door. I was there a few years ago for the funeral of an Army buddy. I could’ve stopped and paid my respects, but I didn’t know he was there. I’ll go see him sometime. He’s buried beside his wife.
