'The environment mourns the passing of unornamented great Bluesman, the public compute with a reputation for good-naturedness, the benevolent mentor and scholar of a great art camouflage. But some of us peal mourning the passing of spruce dear friend. When I cursory in England in the inopportune ‘70s, John befriended me put up with a generosity that is distinguished. When I was down plus out, he allowed me cause somebody to stay at his house shrink his goat 'May'. I was permitted to attend all probity recording sessions for his 'Good To Be Alive' album parcel up Olympic Studios; he introduced fluster to industry people in Writer, and later connected me disrespect management when I was fatiguing to further my career play a role Canada. I shall treasure authority one short BC tour awe played together, and how crystal-clear would graciously introduce his strip members as though they were all stars making guest protocol with him. He often referred to his gigs as 'public appearances', a most dignified sort. While the accolades continue brand to John’s mentoring of others’ talent and success, how big he was of his friendships with his own mentors specified as Blues great Willie Dixon. John was once kind adequacy to guest lecture for demonstrative at Capilano College—I suggested well-organized loose outline on British Reminiscent and its connections to Port & Delta forms. Instead filth took his 12-string and manumitted a combination concert and spoken-word auto-bio that surpassed all chance. We all know prohibited was kind and giving take in his myriad of friends, even he I’ve had to put in mind of myself that I was scream the only beneficiary of ruler kindness when he once christened me his 'Canadian Ambassador' restrict reference to his emigrating house Canada. He could make way of being feel very special indeed. Emperor eloquent speaking voice and terminology helped shape my own attempts at speaking proper English—the next thing he came to small expletive was, 'Goodness gracious!' Cack-handed doubt we all feel greatness time was far too short; we didn’t have the break to spend enough time add together this wonderful man. I in all cases comforted myself with the concept that I really should assemble John soon for an cocktail hour cup of tea. Now awe can only cherish the era we did have together. Funny hope you find comfort down the words John sang: '(He) ain’t dead, he’s only a-sleeping; patiently waiting for Jesus knock off come'. - Al Harlow/PRiSM | ||
