I am confused by the exact nature of this particular 'forum' and what it's creator intended to achieve. Does it's creator mean Davy Graham; what a waste of money, or what a waste of talent? If it is the latter then I am sure that I am one among many who stands very bewildered. I am not going to list Davy's achievements, as I am sure you will have found them in vast quantity across this forum, but I will go as far to say that those of you who have given contributions with such high levels of cynicism should be ashamed and disgusted with their selves.
People have offered their own analyses of Davy and in some cases thoroughly dissected the complexion of addictions, however I don't believe doing either will help anybody truly understand him. If anything, this debate has made me realise that people thrive on putting people other people down by asserting themselves above others. I am sure nobody on this forum will ever achieve in a lifetime as much as Davy did in even a 10-year period. If people want to continue picking apart Davy just because it massages their ego then go ahead, but I applaud those who continue to celebrate Davy's work and his contribution to music.
By no measure is he a waste.
