With hair somewhere between Wayne Coyne & Cedric Bixler Zavala.

RIP Great head of hair.

I really wish I could have seen him play.

Of course I've never seen Neil, either...

this.

Admittedly when I saw him I was familiar only in name, as I've never dug into British folk in my musical education, but I thoroughly enjoyed his set.

Yeah I've only got a few Pentangle albums and Jansch's self-titled solo album from 1965, and I really dig the s/t especially.

FYI, Neil lifted the chords and melody of "Ambulance Blues" from Jansch's "Needle of Death" from the above mentioned s/t. I like "Ambulance Blues" more, but "Needle of Death" is a really cool song, too.
