RIP Bert Jansch - One Of The Greatest Guitarists Ever To Live.

I was upset to find out yesterday about the untimely death to cancer of that brilliant, innovative and inspirational guitarist, Bert Jansch.
I missed a gig of his in Worksop about 12 or so years ago and had been eagerly awaiting him coming to perform in South Yorkshire. Sadly, it was not to be and I never did get to see him live.
Fortunately however, I did catch him performing as part of Pentangle at Sheffield University back in 1972 - or thereabouts. So that will have to do.
I understand that he had led a 'hard-living' sort of life so I do pray that his Glaswegian upbringing may have eventually brought about a personal encounter with The Saviour.
