This guy is the don. Saw him in a basement in Muswell Hill about 10 years ago and he signed my guitar. Probably the bset moment of my life.

Not saying this as any sort of an insult towards Bert, so please don't take it that way, but Bert always gets the glory, but I've always liked John quite a bit better. Better suites my tastes.

Good taste. Both play in a magical way.
Listen to their album 'Bert and John' it was recorded in their Soho apartment with blankets on the walls to cover the noise of the neighbours. You can hear dogs barking in the background. Both admired Davey Graham.

Always so refreshing to hear Sir John's ever-so nimble improvisation of this Booker T classic! Thanx a million for uploading this, Mr. Fields!

Welcome. I wish him to live 50 more years never losing his will of playing great acoustic guitar tunes like this. You know I try so hard playing like him but I miss that magic touch.
Thank you Kiowa

Berrybrain,
You don't have to be "old or wise" to know what Renbourn et al were to English folk music.
It should be ARE old enough not IS old enough - old wise one.
