Hi Janice and hi to all other friends who may read this. I haven't posted anything before on either Corfid or the newsgroup so please bear with me if I mess up!
Both concerts were excellent. I saw Bert Jansch and John Renbourn at Norwich Arts Centre. It was a coincidence that they came within a week of each other and even more of a coincidence that this thread is active. I sat in the same seat for both concerts - truly six feet away from each of them as they played. James came to see Bert.
Bert is one of my heroes and he more than lived up to expectations. He played all of the classics. I particularly enjoyed Blues Runs The Game and Carnival both written by Jackson C Frank, an American singer-songwriter who had a fascinating but tragic life. Check out Jackson's only album released in 1965 and produced by Paul Simon.
John Renbourn was accompanied by Robin Williamson - another very talented folkie. It was an interesting set list. They played a superb version of Going Down Slow and some other blues standards.
Sue - I have Sweet Child too. You prompted me to listen to it last night.
I regularly see concerts at the Arts Centre. I am seeing Geoff Muldaur later in the week.
Thanks for your kind words Janice. I will be in Toronto in November but Yvonne and James will not be coming this time.
Paul
