Hi Everyone,
We have more to share on our remembrance of John Renbourn.
Part 3 starts with memories of May 5, 1999, a truly bitter-sweet day. The two concerts we did changed my life and started a whole new series of events and directions that even affected the inception of TotallyGuitars in 2008. I probably last saw John in 2005 or so but we stayed in touch by phone and email over the next 10 years.
Enjoy!

On The Beat - Episode 286 - A Farewell to John Renbourn Part 3
And who knows, without his inspiration, you may not have ever wanted to start Totally Guitars. And if thats the case Neil, there are a lot of us who wouldn't have learned nearly what we know now.
I'm thankful that you had such a connection with Mr. Renbourn.

Thanks for sharing your great story here with everyone Neil. It was a privilege to listen to your memories of a great man and a wonderful musician.
Just to go off on a tangent for a second, I have to say that the Papas guitar tune is one of the most beautiful tunes I have ever heard. There is just so much emotion pouring from your guitar as you play it. Truly beautiful and a tune from the heart, no words are needed.
You are a lucky man to have met, been friends and shared the stage with your guitar hero, not everyone can say that. It will be a lasting memory for you. The fact that John performed with you in concert is a huge endorsement to your ability. I think you should feel pretty good about that.
Your pronunciation of Hawick sounds good to me. Coincidentally my daughter is down in the borders at the moment spending a few days there in Peebles on a break.
Cheers,
Tom N.
