Thread Name: Obit: RIP Bert Jansch (1943-2011)
Subject: RE: RIP Bert Jansch.
Last night I saw Ralph McTell in concert at Wimborne. Ralph mentioned from the stage that Bert was ill and prior to the concert and after - the blue album was playing. It sounded so good. Strlling Down the Highway, Kasbah, Angie.... on the house system.

Last night Ralph sang a beautiful song in tribute to Bert and Anne Briggs.

Met BJ a few times. He had everything...the natural ability, the vision, the imagination. Quiet and unassuming for such a great talent.

Roger Brooks used to say when you jam with Bert at some point - he just goes into another gear and seems to have thoughts and ideas that you just can't follow - the thing to do is let him soar.
