Listened to and enjoyed the NPR program 'Sound Opinions' today where the guest, producer Joe Boyd, discussed his work (1969-70) with songwriter Nick Drake and the host of session musicians who appeared on his 1st/2nd LPs.
I recorded this piece immediately after.
Nick Drake's unique and complex approach to finger-style acoustic guitar was as influential on my own style back in the 70's as Michael Hedges, Fred Frith, and Marc Ribot became later on.
Why I am percussing about a favorite guitarist is anybody's guess.
