This was on last night and it's on again tonight. It was a cracking documentary. The guy was an animal!

BBC - BBC Four Programmes - John Martyn: Johnny Too Bad

^ i'll watch that. I love the way on the acoustic numbers he keeps time and rhythm with his thumb on the lower strings
The third song is amazing, 'Certain Surprise'.

He really is merrily pissed in this isn't he?

As it should be I think, this stuff is getting me in the mood for summer twilights

My favourite albums are Bless the Weather and Stormbringer, Solid Air is also amazing. Some of my standout tracks have to be:
The Small Hours
Bless the Weather
Dealer
John the Baptist
And so many more......
