Tunesmith Bert, John, Davy and me! (28) Bert, John, Davy and me! 11 Dec 11


Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Davy Graham are often linked together as a triumvirate of folky/bluesy guitarists who emerged on the 1960s London folk scene and changed acoustic guitar playing forever.
I love Davy and Bert's playing but strangely, musically, I never "got" John - except in his duets with Bert, where he seemed to come alive.
Davy was a great and marvelous adventurer on the guitar - a lot more so than either Bert or John.
Bert was a lot narrower in his musical adventures than Davy but he had a marvelous inventive streak that could take other guitarists breath a way.
And, John ... well, I loved his bohemian appearance on his first album cover, and when that album first appeared, I so much wanted to be John Renbourn.
