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.
