"And Now We Rise...." John Martyn In Memoriam

http://viewfromthewolds.blogspot.com/2007/02/solid-air.html

...do revisit, as I have just done, these words of mine from some two years past regarding the great and now sadly the late John Martyn.

I add only this. The grave of his dear friend Nick Drake has its epitaph, a line from one of own his wonderful songs. It is now a fitting memorial for them both, reunited once more in eternity:

"And now we rise, and we are everywhere."

Go in peace dear John, play sweet duets with Nick, and thank you so much for all you gave of yourself.
