Thank you. Have been a fan of Nick's and John since I first encountered their music. You sing this beautifully and this is a touching tribute to John. Wish that I could have met all three of you all those years ago. Precious times past and not forgotten. :)

I saw John several times in the 70s, moved to California late 79 where his music is almost unheard of. These days I host a radio show and thoroughly enjoy playing his songs. He was always ethereal to me and the fact that he is little known here makes it all the more special somehow.

I always loved this on his first album, so nice to hear this lovely version from the writer itself. Great pictures too. He is sorely missed, capable of such beauty within all of the madness, like Fine Lines.

Thank you very much for sharing your story and memories with everyone.I have no doubt you feel very proud to be an eternal part of johns musical life.From a purely personnal point of view johns version of "Sandy Grey" has an almost haunting sound which really drew me to the song and made it,for me,one of my all time favourites not just in johns catalogue but music in general.Once again let me thank you for writing this wonderful song.

Sorry to hear of Johns passing, I only recently found this out through Andrew White referencing him as a strong influence on his music. I used to hang out with him and friends in his basement studio in Hastings in the early 70's, interesting times... RIP John, you were the only one to have that voice. Rovic

@songsonthewing This is so beautiful. I have only just come across this recording of your (original!) version of the song on KZitem. I grew up with John Martyn's version on 'London Conversation' and these songs were the inspiration for learning guitar. Thank you so much. Malcolm

I love John Martyn and his music since the first time l heard him, but behind his incredible beautiful songs, John had a dark side.

They were friends. John's beautiful song "Solid Air" was written for a Nick. If you're interested, you can find out more in Patrick Humphries' biography of Nick Drake.

Yes, I did write the song for Nick although it's not specifically "about" him - there are no biographical details in that song! It was more about an emotional reaction to something he did. I met John shortly afterwards and played the song for him . He quickly decided to put it on the "London Conversation" album which he was then recording. It was an impulsive and generous thing to do which was very much John's style, even then at 18 years old.
