Davey Graham died on Dec. 15th - World is a poorer place
Davey Graham
It's all here... sadly, so sadly.
Personally, I knew him in London, in early '90s, and he gave to me a three hour guitar lesson in his Camden Town home and studio... he fell in love with my flamenco '50s guitar... I'll never forget his teachings - I still cherish his handwritten music notation - on EMI music paper - with some technical tips - and I'll miss him a lot, fondly: he introduced me to oud, to high-strung guitar, to EADEAE guitar-tuning.
His discs on Kicking Mule records and - to a lesser degree - on Decca's are among my Desert Island guitar records ever and, fortunately, through his Music a Musician never die...
Too bad I'll only be able to commemorate his death playing one of his Irish music so beautiful, haunting arrangements...
Thanks, Davey.
Yes Stefano, great people (like Davey) never die. They just fade away....
