There are not enough superlatives for Lonnie, what can you say. He transformed British society deeply, and funnily his turning on a generation to American folk-song resulted in the explosion of distictively British music. The year before Rock Island line came out, 5000 guitars were sold in the UK. Five years later that was 250,000 a year. What more needs to be said?
The only crticism I could make of Lonnie is dying on November 4: he was meant to be playing in my home-town, Stoke, that night. Now I call that downright inconsiderate!
