John Renbourn RIP

[Maggie/915]

RIP .

John Renbourn has always been a favourite in our family.

One track I would recommend is Lord Franklin.

The story of his attempt (Lord Franklin) to find the NW Passage through the Arctic.

Maggie,I'm chuffed ti hear yi like proper music and impressive talent like John Renbourne.

I was introduced to his music many years ago by my youngest Son,who was a fan of Pentangle.

When John toured with Stefan Grossman around 1987-ish,my Son was about 14 years old,and learning John's style of finger-picking.

Made me look like a beginner......!

We went to see them [canna mind where,] but they were both great.

My favourite track was "The Hermit",by John,which I haven't heard for a while.

When you tune through the stations,and pass by radio 1 as quick as is possible,you still catch a sound-byte of the worst music which has ever polluted the air-waves!

Mind,that's what the old-timers used to say when they heard my group playing Stones,and Animals tracks!![around 1963-on,when I was a handsome young kid wi a Presley quiff!!....noo aam a 4-eyed baaldy aad sod grumping aboot thi same thing!]

I was sad to hear of John's passing,when my Son came in and told me.

R.I.P.John Renbourne,one of Britain's most talented musicians.
