Thank you for comment. I do not know the situation now, music of this song exists. Music was being attached to the CD "Shanachie 97009" I bought long time ago. It would be nice if familiar to reference · · · Tuning is DADEAD.

I was playing this song for my dad when he died (he was already dying). This is a fabulous cover of it. You have also covered several of John's other tunes beautifully. I used to play a number of them myself. Your cover of 'The South Wind' makes me want to pick up the guitar again ! John would be (and maybe he is) impressed.

Fantastic manI! I have been a John Renbourn fan for 30 years. I have never heard a cover of one of his tunes like this. The Black Balloon is my favorite album. I admire your taste and your skill!

Absolutely fantastic performance. Lately, I've been working on this one again after forgetting I knew it for about 15 years. It is such a lovely piece. The first section in particular is just sublime.

Gonbe, Beautiful cover! John must be delighted. Thanks very much for this great moment. I could spend my time listening to his music and Bert's and Pentangle's too. Since I was 16 (long time ago) I play some of his songs and I had the pleasure to spend some great time with him during his workshops. Best,

Fantastic cover! I love this song; my dad used to play it all the time before, inspired me to try to learn it. Very hard but definetively possible! Helps a lot having the tab papers for the black balloon album (and this video is also of great help, so thank you for sharing.) Might try to learn the other songs as well later, but it will certainly take some time as I am still a beginner. Thank you again for sharing!

Mr. Thomas Blaine, Thank you for your warm comment. Have long been fascinated by the music of Mr. Renbourn too. Album, "The Black Balloon" is I think one of the best of his work. I think I'll make love to his music in the future.

Hey, I just wanted to comment and say what a great cover this is. I learned the introduction and the main motif this summer. I have a really hard time getting the harmonics in the introduction without using a thumb pick - just can't get enough volume. Are you catching the strings with your thumbnail to get that volume?
i'm currently using your cover to learn this song myself! you play it beautifully, and i hope i can do the same. It is one of the most difficult songs i have ever tried, even harder than Andy McKee. thankyou for posting
