***JOHN MARTYN***
MY CURLY HAIRED MATE
"I feel very empty and I can't stop shaking and it's very difficult to talk to anyone without cracking..but. I "Bless The Weather that sent him to me"...a line from his song...also the man that wrote " You curl around me like a fern in the Spring" shows us the real person inside, and one I will always love and miss having a cuddle and also a ruck with him again....Thank God for our time in NYC last year and we had a play together too, ...must have been written.
Bless the weather that brought Theresa to John, her love and dedication allowed John to live his dream. There is no greater love.
May God reward him with His blessing."

New York Times Review of John Martyn's performance at Joes Pub New York on Thursday October 9th 2008.
Jon Pareles wrote 'In the late 1960s it was a novel, far-reaching idea when folk-rooted guitarists in the United States and England began toying with the harmonies and syncopations of jazz. (Now such hybrids are taken for granted in the music of Norah Jones or Grizzly Bear.) One of the most idiosyncratic British innovators, the 60-year-old Scottish guitarist, singer and songwriter John Martyn, made his first New York appearance in more than a decade with a brief yet heartening set at Joe?s Pub on Thursday night.
He was accompanied by a frequent collaborator: Danny Thompson, the bassist best known as a member of Pentangle.'
