As far as I know Bert is still on the road playing the clubs and releasing the occasional album. I saw John Renbourne with Jaqcui O Shea at the local folk club, they've still got it. They didn't attempt Light Flight, but it's always worth hearing again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9gCN9-Jnfg > BTW, if you like folky fingerpicking and songs > that tempt you to try to learn them, here are > a couple from Bruce Cockburn, plus a couple more > of him just having fun: They do tempt me to try but I aint no guitarist I'm afraid :-( > Foxglove: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCBY9Fb8YGo > > Jerusalem Poker: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX6A80bVolI > > Jammin' with Ric Emmett: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyk9AT6f_tE > > Jammin' with Ali Farka Toure: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjWbqTbeZK4 Loved Bruce for a long time but the last album of his I bought was World of Wonders, a long time ago. And I'm well into Ali FT at the moment, good to see them together. I got side tracked, as one so often does, in the Bruce Cockburn list and found some old faves: Cool version of WoW from the Timbuktu trip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX5So6zRjtM&feature=related Great song, great sentiment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL4CdHd9ma4&feature=related It's breaking the "guitarist on his own" vibe, but I had to have a bit of John McLaughlin on here, he's awesome but the stuff I like is not so well represented on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB95clOd6v0&feature=related I saw him on this tour, excellent stuff.
