John Mayall

I’m sad to hear about the death of my friend John Mayall. John was historically such an important figure in the English Blues scene. He nurtured the talent of many great guitarists including Peter Green, Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor. He was a walking encyclopaedia of American and English blues and a musical trailblazer for all of us. Thank you John, God bless ❤️

John was a fellow artist and we are photographed here at the Vorpal Gallery, Laguna Beach, in July 1980 with Joni Mitchell, Klaus Voormann, Commander Cody and Deborah Chesher.
