From the album 6 and 12 String Guitar

I’ve had this LP for years and of course have lost track of where it came from.

I was heavily into Bert Jansch (still am) so was collecting a lot of guitarists at the time.

I’d like to say that this album started my love affair with Leo Kottke but it sadly didn’t. I like it, but his other stuff on other records hasn’t quite done it for me. It’s a bit too country and jolly for me.

This LP though still gets a spin now and then when the mood takes….
