I neglected to note the passing this week of Bert Jansch, deeply influential English guitarist. Here he performs one of his best-known songs, "Blackwater Side." It's based on an old folk song, and was later appropriated by Jimmy Page for his "Black Mountain Side," which puts Jansch somewhere in the middle, somehow, I guess. But it's wonderful stuff, and if you don't know his work you should check him out, especially if you play guitar.
