Bert Jansch RIP

Had only recently enjoyed the re-attention given to his influence on others in the excellent book Electric Eden-Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music by Rob Young. I always think of the praise he received in the past from Neil Young. This is just a taste of his skill and of the sheer joy he weaves through a version of "She Moved Through the Fair":

or "Black Water Side" he should have sued Page:
