I am surprised to see that No-one has yet reported the sad loss of John Cohen on Mudcat. It appears that he died yesterday - Sunday. The last of the three founding members of the New Lost City Ramblers. An excellent musician, researcher and photographer. John, Mike and Tom were responsible for so many of us getting into this music so we have a lot to thank/blame them for. I had the pleasure of meeting and being in picking sessions with him, Penny Seeger Cohen and Tom several times on this side of the pond. Apparently his latest book has just been published which looks very promising. More great photographs to enjoy.
