A post from a Facebook mate, Toby Philpot about John Martyn.

"Working in folk clubs (and showing no talent for music) I hung out with musicians (making tea and rolling joints, etc), so I guess I have to find a piece by John Martyn (I used to baby-sit for him and Beverley) - who knew he got an OBE! "

"When I ran away to the USA, he phoned ahead, so a friend would settle me in, until the jet-lag wore off...and through the following 18 months of my hitch-hiking around he would occasionally pop up through FM radio to reassure me... it felt like a postcard...in those days before mobile phones, email, and all that. Bless 'im."
