The snow outside our windows today is a poignant reminder of that dreadful day. I was twelve yrs old and a massive fan. My best pal was in tears as he came into the school hall for lunch and I asked him what was wrong - he was the first to hear the news. We were absolutely devastated. From that day I knew I had to own a guitar and learn to play his songs.

His acoustic versions of his songs are an inspiration to anyone playing acoustic guitar. As I said at the beginning of this thread - they really are worth re-visiting and playing in a folk style.

The music will never die...
