Bob Hitchcock Obit: Johnny Collins (6 July 2009) (419* d) RE: Obit: JOHNNY COLLINS 5 July 2009 06 Jul 09

I have been reading far too many obits these days and this one is very hard. I first met Johnny at the Mystic festival back in the early 80's and again during the Boarding Party tour of UK in 1982 and then ran into him on and off on both sides of the Atlantic over the years. What a wonderful man he was, a big voice with a big heart.

I missed the house concert here that BillD refered to (I think I had another gig) but I lent him one of my guitars for that tour, a 1979 Fylde Falstaff, I will think of Johnny every time I play it from now on.

My condolences to Joyce and everyone who knew him.

Bob Hitchcock.
