when i got to talking to michael chapman last year he mentioned in passing that john martyn was the only person he'd ever kicked out of his house.i would like to hear the rest of that story someday.

I'd be interested to hear Nick McCabe on John Martyn's new record too; pretty like minded people I figure.

I always heard echoes of Richard Thompson in the guitar on the early Verve records. But I guess it was Nick drake not John Martyn that had his accompaniment, RT's that is.

yeah, verlaine's gtr sound = 50% jerry garcia, 50% richard thompson - the version of 'Sloth' on the Fairport Convention live at the LA Troubadour set is especially Television-like, tho' Sailor's LIFE always sounds to me more like FT trying to be the Velvet Underground

I was really reminded of Verlaine at least by the guitar you can now hear under bits of North Star Grassman & The ravens the Sandy Denny lp.
