    I was an art-major student at Bakersfield, CA In 1970 when I first heard John Renbourn's album, The Lady and the Unicorn. The instructor would play music in class and put this on the turntable for us to listen. What a great guitarist and musician he was and will be missed.

      I first heard him around that time, as well. Although, first I heart the group and went looking for the musicians. My daughter and son and law have kept a turntable, so I"ve given them all my Pentangle, Burt Jansch and John Renbourn albuns. The beat goes on.

    Absolutely gutted about the death of John Renbourn. One of the best technical, classical, blues, medieval guitar players and songwriters ever to walk this earth.
    I was lucky enough to see him live in 2012 at the Mac theater in Birmingham, right at the front, row A. (I filmed it) ... Blew me away !
    RIP to a legend!

      A well deserved compliment there. I had breakfast with him last year in Haverhill and saw him play on 10th March last in St Neots in one of his last performances. I had a good chat with him afterwards. There was no genre of music he touched that he did not adorn.

    This is what music is meant to be. John was a great musician and fortunately with him there were a few more who stayed on the real musical road. In the late 1960s it all seemed to be going great and then came that godforsaken pop music with its glamor and glitter and it has never gotten better with folklore, with our society, our dreams for a better world half a century before it now dawns that the earth is up. Fortunately, I can feed on melodies and original lived-in versions like yours. May you dwell forever in the enchanted garden

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform twice, and I was witness to absolute magik! I met and talked with him on both those occasions. He was a true gent, he even commented on my dragon fly earrings. Such a lovely man.

    I had the great fortune to see him once solo and meet/chat with him after the show. He signed my vinyl copy of his first solo LP (1965). Then I was extremely lucky to attend the Pentangle reunion concert in London in summer 2008. I have all their works on vinyl, both solo and collectively. Majestic stuff.
