I was fortunate to see Johnnie & Jim at a small house concert here in the USA about 20+ years ago, and to talk with them.....and save them, for one night, from having to drink bad American beer. Johnnie was gracious and grateful, and I'm SURE sang even better with my Sam Smith's ale in him....

He was a great talent and an amazing 'presence', and I learned a number of songs from the LPs I acquired as soon as possible after realizing how they should be done!

My deepest condolences to his family and to those who knew him as a friend.
