That's a sad and big loss. I wanted so much to see and hear him next time in Dublin. I do hope that all his song collecting work does not get lost with him.

The older he got the better he was. I remember my reactions to his early three LPs being similar to Martins. But on his recent CDs he's got a great voice.

He was a man who could take a song that had been sung to death by everyone else and sing it in a way to make you listen and rediscover the beauty of such a song.

A great man has left.
