Three of my all time favorites. The Pentangle's "Sweet Child" and Davey's "Folk Blues and Beyond" forever changed the way I listened to music and sent me scurrying in so many directions, to jazz, to blues, to classical, to traditional singers, gospel, those two albums alone gave me a lifetime of listening adventure. But for me, Bert was and always will be, "the man" on guitar. I'm not claiming he was the most proficient or innovative of the three or making any claims regarding his songwriting or singing abilities, but a musician either moves you or he doesn't, and Bert has never failed to move me and I'm going to miss him like you would miss any dear friend you've had for life. Thanks for starting the thread Tunesmith. David E.
