his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics
and unique vocal style. Hartford performed with a variety of
ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for
his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar,
banjo, and fiddle from song to song. He also invented his own
shuffle tap dance move, and danced on a amplified piece of
plywood while he played and sang. He won a Grammy award in
1968 for his song "Gentle on My Mind" and another in 1976 for his
album Mark Twang for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording.*
