Subject: RE: Obit: Davey Graham R.I.P. (15 Dec 2008) From: Herga Kitty Date: 15 Dec 08 - 07:34 PM When I was 16 my then boyfriend, who was a guitarist, lent me his Folk Blues and Beyond... I didn't actually see Davey live until he was booked at Ealing folk and blues club in the 90s. Very sorry to hear of his passing. Kitty |
Subject: RE: Obit: Davey Graham R.I.P. (15 Dec 2008) From: GUEST,Phil B Date: 15 Dec 08 - 07:12 PM Just finished the last of three gigs with Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett of Little Feat at the Komedia in Brighton. Wonderful blokes and great time had by all. Saw them off to their 5 am flight. Got back to the hotel to the news of the death of Davey Graham. His album 'Folk Blues and beyond' is the reason I became a musician. I'm very sad to hear this news. Just raised a glass with the hotel porter who of course has no idea what I'm on about. R.I.P. Davey. |

Subject: RE: Davey Graham R.I.P. From: Richard Bridge Date: 15 Dec 08 - 06:12 PM I am shocked. He didn't look that ill last year. Is the cause known? I was not personally much attracted by his playing (I admired it, but it did not much "speak to me"), but he was undoubtedly a huge influence and a guru to many. |
