"I agree... great stuff.  Renbourn has been one of my favorite guitarists
along with Verlaine and Thompson for many years.  Back when I had time to
play guitar (and could read music.. long since forgotten, unfortunatey) I
had a book of his pieces written out in full classical guitar notation..
absoutely the most finger busting stuff I ever tried to play and he just
does it so naturally. Amazing.
Haven't heard about him for years.. maybe some of our British friends know
if he's still around?

i had the pleasure of hanging out w/john for a week last summer at igs (a 
guitar camp started by bob brozman & woody mann). while i didn't take any of 
his classes we ended up eating dinner together & he hung out every nite w/us 
jamming students, told stories, drank whiskey & was an all around great guy. 
that's why i decided to investigate pentangle. it took the friend who's 
house i stayed at during my mission of burma field trip to finally play me 
some of pentangle. i'm hooked & plan to purchase the catalog. as my wife 
enrolled me again in igs as a xmas present, i'm hoping to take a class from 
john. last summer, he gave me a copy of his class materials & his email if i 
had questions, but truthfully, figuring it out on my own boggles my brain. 
here's the igs url for more detail on the guitar camp (which by the way is 
greatgreatgreat.)
