The passing of John Renbourn

Post by Feadoggie »

I am not one to read the Senior Citizen's Sports Page every day but I lost a couple friends last week and did find myself reading an Internet obituary site.

When I found the write-up that I was looking for I also noticed a link to this obituary for John Renbourn. I met and chatted with John back in the late 1970's after a show at Club Passim in Cambridge. He was a good guitar player and an inspiration to many younger guitar players.

May he enjoy a Great Dream From Heaven.

R.I.P. John :(

I'd seen him play a couple of times locally, most recently with Wizz Jones a year or so back. A massive influence on me and many of my friends, not that any of us could emulate him, but he certainly gave us targets to strive for!
