Any other fans here?
Ok, so he had a lot of bad habits, but thankfully he will be remembered for his great music.
R.I.P. John :'(
I,m a long time fan and yes he will be sadly missed. Bad temper was his worst habit I think, getting drunk or stoned is /was something a lot of us have done. Just remember the music and what it makes you feel .
I took twenty years to learn to play May you Never because it meant something and I didn,t want to spoil it.I just wish I could still be as laid back as he sounded.
John Martyn RIP.
Bought his second album "The Tumbler" (1968) after hearing a track on John Peel's programme. Brilliant guitar work. Didn't realize quite how ground-breaking he was until I read the obituaries though.
