I have posted on this fine guitarist and songwriter before and was very sad to learn this morning that he passed away yesterday. I was lucky enough to catch him live a few times and while he could have off nights when he had consumed too much alcohol or drugs when he was on form he was in a class of his own.
Here he is playing electric and once again backed by Danny Thompson (ex Pentangle) with a fine version of Sweet Little Mystery,
Feels like there has been a rash of deaths among people I have admired a lot recently – here's hoping the trend stops here.So for one last time here is playing Johnny Too Bad, farewell John, gone but never forgotten.

Well, that's sad. So many deaths lately. Kind of depressing.
When I was listening to him I wondered if maybe he is a bit of an influence on Dave Matthews.
rt, As if there were not enough stuff going on to make us depressed we have all these deaths on top.
Have never heard any Dave Matthews - will have to check him out.
