I am becoming a one man fanboy for this man. John Martyn is now in a wheelchair but still performing. This is not misfortune. His left leg below the knee was amputated due to a burst cyst. John Martyn is an alcoholic who still has'nt remarried since his marriage ended in 1980 and fully accepts his drunken romanticism. Certain songs he plays bring tears to his eyes. This is ultimately what music is. Personal yet it speaks to many.
