great guitarist - innovative & totally individual. love his mix of styles & cultural nuances - & the sensitivity in his playing is beautiful - check out his work with shirley collins!

This album is one of my most treasured possessions. I picked it up from a roadside stall forty years ago - for 50p/ten bob!
All my years in London & I never saw Davy live. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Haha. Great song! Makes me smile. (: . Davy was awesome

Great guitarist. Saw him in a club called Les Cousins in Greek St Soho. He came on at about 3 in the morning, when we were all knackered, resplendent in a 3 piece white suit, white shirt and red tie - immaculate in every sense.

Damn... Davy was one of the most original interpreters out there. I only realized recently that all the people who play the song with this melody got it from him. (Or from Nick Drake, who got it from Davy.) RIP
