FireOpal Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Davy Graham died yesterday after a short battle with lung cancer. He was 68. As many of you know, Graham influenced Pagey and many other great English guitarists. http://www.daveygraham.moonfruit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I am crushed, absolutely CRUSHED,by this sad news. Davy(or Davey...there seems to be no agreement on how his name should be spelled) was a singular talent and paved the way for so many people like Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, let alone Jimmy Page, in how to approach the acoustic guitar. If you still don't have any Davey Graham albums or cds, these three are a must in getting started: THE GUITAR PLAYER (1963) FOLK, BLUES AND BEYOND (1964) FOLK ROOTS, NEW ROUTES (1965) with Shirley Collins He had been playing again recently and collaborating on an album with Mark Pavey, and I was hoping to see him again in concert soon...man, what a terrible loss. Rest in peace, Davey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Masson Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 A pioneer in many respects, definitely an influence on Jimmy Page, and a great guitarist - he leaves a wonderful musical legacy. Rest in peace, Davy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 A real shame, he seemed to be finding his way back out of the wilderness. I saw him a few years ago, and he seemed in a real state...what a come-down from his glory days 40 odd years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
