Goodnight Irene
I love this song. Tonight we decided to serenade the folks as they were putting everything away. It was a great night. The audience was terrific. So a good way to end the evening is:
This Land is Your Land – Woody Guthrie, For Arlo, By Bob Johnson
This is my favorite song and I had a good time singing and recording it and putting this video together the year the Philly’s won the Series. My kids live one at the Atlantic and one at the Pacific, and I’m thinking about hopping a freight.
And if you want great coffee. Come with me to the promised land.

National Anthem Sung By Maggie Johnson, Bob’s Granddaughter
You gotta love it. Go Maggie
Enjoy. Watch Maggie after she winds it up. And see how it flows when she starts enjoying what she is doing and dancing to her music.
Oh if I could copy her stage presence.
Go Girl.
Grandpa.
Roseville Fair for Julia and Johnny
Charlotte, please pass this along. It is from a show I was a part of in Wachula, Florida in 2008.
Sing Me Back Home and Too Old To Die Young
Two great songs: Sing Me Back Home; Too Old To Die Young. I hope you enjoy them.
Floyd Country Store, Floyd, Virginia – Best Jamming Ever
Is this not great music. Leo, should we invite them to your Monday Night Jams?
I had the great pleasure of spending a few days with my good and generous friend Ivan Sexton (hear Ivan sing Peace in the Valley). Ivan moved to Catawba, Va. recently and now visits and plays at the Floyd Country Store frequently. I joined him on July 23, 2010 and we played in the street for four or five hours. Nothing better.
For those of you who have not seen Ivan recently, here is a picture of him with his beloved dog “Kentucky”. This is the friendliest dog you would want to see. And man can she run and jump.

And while we played at Floyd a fellow sat across from us and he too had a Martin HD 28 LSV, a Clarence White version. It’s the first time I’ve seen one just like mine. Turns out he bought it in 2001, as I did. He told me Martin is now only making the Signature version, so ours will no longer be made. Maybe they will be worth something someday, but for now, they sure do sound great, and the large sound hole produces sweet music. Gotta keep the volume down though, as the guy sitting next to you may appreciate some hearing room.
