Thanks Jaz, ill look for it...and i hope youre researching both music and animal therapy...my friends Mom has done real well w both...just sitting at a piano, tinkering w an instrament she never mastered, and hadnt played in over 30 years, has really helped her. That , and walking w horses once a week on her sons farm..
Family swears she s like her old self , sometimes only for moments, somstimes for much longer, during both of these "therapies".
" I'll Be Me "is a compelling movie - i screened it a few years ago in Nashville with a little concert preceding it and it was a huge hit - i had to sit and watch it all the way thru in rehearsals so the producers could be certain that the quality of the screening was 100% - ive basically seen it 3 times and it gets you every time. Anyone with aging parents should watch it.
His family was a super nice bunch of people, met his current wife ( at the time ) and a bunch of his kids that are in the band in the movie...his daughters band played ' easy on my mind ' and ' pheonix ' and there was not a dry eye in the house...

Watched every week just to see John Hartford. Amazing to think about the quality that TV sometimes had back then.
Great picker and singer, charter member of the Wrecking Crew, just a great life. A true legand.

RIP Glen, one of the significant voices of his time.
