    His life took him far away from home in a musical sense this was such a pleasure to see him home and at his pleasure ...the expressions postures and overall demeanour a word cannot describe I'm preserving this myself I don't want this to ever be taken down.

    I shook John's hand twice, but this is the first time I've heard this version. Thanks, Danny, for a lifetime of good tune & the good friends you've had.

      Ok, but the greatest JM's cover on the Transatlantic Sessions is Solid Air with John and Danny. Not ethereal like the original but bluesy.

    thank you so much for putting those Transatlantic Sessions on youtube in high quality. Have been listining to them on youtube for 10 years and always in shitty quality. Finally I can hear and see everything. They are timless works of art and deserve to be enjoyed and listened to.

    Doesn't need the extra musicians. John and Danny only stripped back version better.

    Ms. Beverly Martyn, I am sorry to learn about you having to suffer so much through him. I know that was bad, bad.
    But one thing you are not right, his music. When he had an instrument, he is the best human in the world.
