"After you start learning all about the mechanics of piloting a riverboat, you stop seeing all the pretty sunsets and you start thinking about the weather"

About this Quote
In this quote, John Hartford is recommending that as soon as somebody ends up being experienced about the technical aspects of running a riverboat, they become less concentrated on the charm of their environments and more concerned with practical matters such as the weather. This might be interpreted as a commentary on how know-how and experience can change one's perspective and concerns. It also highlights the importance of being knowledgeable and ready in any profession or skill. Hartford's words work as a pointer to not lose sight of the beauty around us, but likewise to remain grounded and attentive to the usefulness of our responsibilities.
