   If it wasn't for Vassar, I don't think I would have ever gotten into   
   bluegrass and folk music.   
      
   It started with the Circle Album...   
   Next came Old and in the Way (I recognised the carved fiddle head on   
   the album cover)   
   John Hartford's Aereoplane next...   
   I was hooked from then on.   
      
   I had heard recently about his health...   
      
   The only thing I can say is that he brought a lot of enjoyment of   
   music into my life that I probably would not have had otherwise. For   
   that I am eternally grateful (pun intended).   
      
   Now he and John Hartford, Bill Monroe, Jerry Garcia, and too many   
   other great pickers can get together and jam in heaven and bring us   
   more "blue" skies, and chase away the clouds.   
      
   Thank you, Vassar
