Bert Jansch with Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler on Later With Jools Holland in London, UK on 20 May 2000. Johnny Marr plays his Martin D-28 acoustic/vocals on 'The River Bank' with Bert Jansch on acoustic and Bernard Butler on electric
When Bert died,I was camping on a riverbank,Stein Valley,B.C. On returning,I heard the sad news&found this vid for the 1st time.The song has lines remarkably relatable to where I was:A white water torrent&amazing visual&auditory treat("river sings...in a million harmonies");On the river's dark shore,as adjacent mountains block sun 24/7.All sun's on the far shore!("...sun shines brighter on the other side...");watching scores of acrobatic salmon leap cascades nearby ("salmon who swim for home")!
A very special musician who never got the acclaim his gift for playing deserved he will live on in the hearts and mind of all the discerning music lovers around the world, thanks dazzling stranger, R I P.
