John Renbourn, master guitarist who perfect a technical and appealing style, He died last week, a few years after his fellow guitarist and band-mate Bert Jansch.
The song I uploaded is "Lord Franklin", from Pentangle's "Cruel Sister" of 1970. Renbourn
sings and of course plays on it. There is a wistful quality to the song, which commemorates the lost of Lord Franklin, his 129 sailors, and two ships in the 1845/6 expedition to find the Northwest Passage.
