You must have increbility long arms to type this from the bottom of the canal..........or the canal must be very shallow..........or did you fall over whilst holding your notebook and its one of those waterproof ones so you can use it at the bottom of the canal..........or............OK OK I'll stop BUT

I take no responsiblity..............you shouldn't read things that weren't meant for you!!!!!!!!!!! So its all your fault!!!!!!

:D
LOL! The canal is only about 3 ft deep, so I would probably break my ankle before I got my laptop wet.

This was in 1978 and how I remember him. Me and your mum went to see him two or three times one week cos the sound was crap. Ended up in that hall in Warrington where you saw 'A' remember? He was great, and your mum fancied the bass player. :lol:

i dunno which is my favourite.. 1995 or 1977. 1995 has a fuller more folkish tone and with the small band behind him is sounds amazing, aswell as his gorgeous husk in his voice his lines are brilliant especially the lines "But he dreamt of sighing, Lamenting, Crying" and "On the fifth of november, Ive a reason to remember".

1977 is just a really good song... I dunno really why Its jsut amazing... well you already know that. Ha

"But he dreamt of sighing, Lamenting, Crying"
Brilliant line.
I like the early one where his voice was pure. I think the drink and drugs really changed his voice. Mind you his timing as he got older was awesome. He could hold a note, then let it go, and get the very best out of it.

oh aye... ooo I found a song from 2004 that you may like "One for the Road" [link]

Bit sad seeing him at that point but he has SOOO much emotion in every song.

I was watching something on Youtube and in an interview thing some guy said "Some people keep diaries, John Martyn made records" and i was thinking "It really was" ever album and ever ever song had its own story and with ever live version of any song ive seen theres no sense of "Im doing this for the money" each song was like "This is my last so ill sing it with every ounce of emotion" and i dont think anyone does that anymore..

Thanks for the link, Dave. Just watched.
I saw him after this in 2006 at the Lowry in Manchester. He was a mess. We walked out half way through, as did many other people. Not because it was crap, but because it hurt too much to see him making a fool of himself. The drink and drugs had worked their magic. He had lost a leg by then. It was sad and pathetic. I wish I hadn't seen it.
I know what you mean about how much he put into a song. That is what comes across. It is sincere and passionate.
