John and Vassar, plus Old & In The Way, Aereo-Plain, and Vassar’s fiddle. It’s all right here, in John’s own words.
John kept a lot of writing on 3×5 index cards, and filed them all away for reference. We don’t know if he wrote these thoughts about Vassar Clements in 1993 for a book or album forward, or just because Millie Clements encouraged him to do so; internet searches come up empty. Either way, John had deep respect for Vassar, and shares here about their friendship and musical connections. You may learn a few things you didn’t know!
(Note: the photographer for this photo from John’s archive is currently unknown to us; please send us a message if you know who it is.)
These are a fantastic slice of history. Thank you for sharing.
