He started out as a Skiffle performer,was a friend & sometime collaborator of Dylan's,wrote a song ("If I Needed Someone")which was inspired by "The Bells Of Rhymney" & another ("I Me Mine") which was inspired by French Chanson.Very few people have inspired more people to pick up a guitar & learn to play it.He was also a great champion of the Uke.
Neither Folk nor Blues artist he was well liked by afficionados of both.
He would have been 64 today.64 being the age Paul sang about & '64 being the year his old band went global.
Lost too soon to cancer.Though being stabbed could not have helped.
I liked this guy.
Anybody else?
