Death Anniversary Thread

Recommended Posts

Can we please stop with the "X stopped (insert what they did for a vocation) # of years ago"?  Try and be slightly more creative, or drop it altogether and say "X - # years ago". 
I think this sentiment was voiced a week ago or summat.

One year since Dave Swarbrick died. It got overlooked a bit at the time due the plethora of deaths last year, but to me it was one of the most notable.

Did ye get to Cropredy too Handy?  One of the best concerts I've seen so far was Swarbrick and the sublime John Martyn there.  Sigh.
