Hello John, I remember meeting you way back in the 1960′s when I shared a house with singer, Dickie Pride. I worked with Duffy Power as a duo back then and you had just spent some time playing with Jack Ginger and Graham Bond…crazy peeps eh? I still listen to those early Duffy recordings especially the beautiful version of God Bless The Child. I have been trying to track Duffy down and finally had some success this year. He is living ion North London in assisted housing after yet another mental breakdown…so sad. He did send me a lovely CD, « Tigers » which features his signature plaintive voice and some interesting tunings on an acousticc, nylon strung guitar …Bentonia style I believe. Anyway I thought you might like hear news of Duffy. I will be in the UK some time this summer and will go visit Duffy…still one of my Heroes! Peace, Tim Hinkley
I am listening to this recording for the 1st time and I love it. Thank you for your wonderful music.
