Music Remembering Bert Jansch: An Interview
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 1:44 PM
Scottish folk guitarist Bert Jansch passed away earlier today, succumbing to lung cancer which seemed, at one point, to be in remission, but sadly returned. Jansch played a memorable show at Mississippi Studios in June of last year, and seeing his breathtaking guitar work up close and personal was astonishing. I had the opportunity to speak with Jansch in advance of the Mississippi Studios show for an article for the paper.
The full transcript of that interview is now up on End Hits. Rest in peace, Bert.
