Legendary Scottish folk musician, Bert Jansch passed away last week. I have spent numerous hours enjoying his albums including those with John Renbourn and their group Pentangle.
As a record collector, I was a latecomer to the folk music scene; it wasn't until the mid 80's that I began to listen to various styles of folk music that was recorded from the late 50's through the 70's.
