Very sad news indeed. A genius on the guitar and what a voice!

Quote from: John Martyn
If I could control myself more, I think the music would be much less interesting, I'd probably be a great deal richer, but I'd have had far less fun and I'd be making really dull music.

Very good tribute show on Radio 2 last night. Well worth a listen again if you've got the slightest interest in John.
