I first came across John Martyn Back in the late 60's, hanging around the folk clubs in England. As a relative newcomer to the guitar, I was instantly mesmerised by his catchy style.

I think I bought just about every record he produced, but I've lost most of them.

I live in Perth Australia now, and I remember driving to work in January, and hearing the morning chat show host announce that John Martyn had died. I had stopped paying attention to what he was up to many years ago, so was jolted by the announcement.

Of course I jumped onto Youtube to see what there was. First thing - I was shocked at how sick he had become, in a wheelchair, no less. Now there was a man who lived life to the full and way beyond!
