Bert Jansch was an extraordinary talent. I never tire of his music. I wish that I was born earlier, so that I might have seen him live. Long live your music, Mr. Jansch.
Today would have been Bert's 81st birthday. Great to listen to still. Every musican would do well to listen to him and learn from the magic he created. Much missed, and I truly wonder if we shall ever see anyone of his ilk again. A truly unique and wonderful man with impeccable artistic integrity and a body of work that stands up with the very best.
I’m 24, and I discovered Pentangle on RUclips about 10 years ago through the song Cruel Sister. At first what impressed me was Jacqui’s voice but as I got older I started to appreciate the amazing musicians that made up this folk band. I started to appreciate Bert Jansch’s voice too, which I hadn’t appreciated at first but of course his guitar playing has always been phenomenal. This is an awesome tribute; I’ve been listening to his solo stuff a lot lately.
I agree. Better than the Santa Barbara Honeymoon version, He rewrote the bridge soon after that recording, and it hangs together a lot better - still an emotionally raw and honest expression of his split from his wife.
Thank you. Inspiring. Here is a quote from Jackie Kay, from her poetry collection entitled ‘Darling’. “ The dead don’t go till we do, loved ones. They are beside us, holding our hands”.
I love this! I lost my wife of 24 years, 5 years ago. I still miss her every single day. This thought really brings it home and helps more than you can imagine. Thank you. Bert Jansch has been a musical hero of mine for decades. R.I.P., troubadour.
@@thattubesound2214 Very sorry to hear, Sir. My sincere condolences. Jansch (and other artists like him) offer some consolation for the sorrows of this life. Best wishes to you.
My friend - a really lovely, though not at all religious lady, told me this story about the house she moved into, some 30 years ago. It had been the home of an old gentleman who has passed away. She sensed a presence from the moment she and her husband moved in. Her hubby dismissed her intuition, as just imagination, but there would be bumps, noises, that feeling you are not alone, and a mirror in the bathroom fell into the basin right in front of her. Then the house, quite suddenly, became peaceful. Old ‘Arthur’ had moved on - and my friend co-incidentally discovered that Arthur’s good lady wife had passed away, in the nursing home where she had been living. He just waited for her, to go together. God bless you. ,

I was fortunate enough to see him perform live in the early seventies with Pentangle, and then in 2007 solo at the New Morning club in Paris
Such an uncomplicated, talented and inspirational musician he was. R.I.P. Bert Jansch.

25 yo actually, i have the exactly same story
There is something hauntingly resonant about this specific recording of When The Teardrops Fell. So beautifully performed. What a beautiful soul.

He has influenced my days since discovering him in my early twenties.RIP Bert❤
He is truly exceptional. Its really hars for me to forgive him for ripping Jimmy Page though. But no doubt he was pretty talented.
Grandiose THANKS! Love Bert forever, hugs from Russia❤
