John Martyn

some times something in us just dies. All this about an MPs and his expenses. Some of the Lords with allegations relating to payments for consultancy. Sad days for Britain and democracy. Loss of life in Sri Lanka, Gaza, Afghanistan all this stuff is enough to make you weep.

However, I'm nearly sixty and I used to go to folk clubs, for example Les Cousins, and listen to the music with a very dear person who I loved very much indeed. Why do I tell you this, because today John Martyn has died, and something within me has died.
