Hi, Jerry. Apologies. I left this comment on the wrong video. I meant to leave it on the Davy Graham – Anji video. It would be great if you could do Bert’s version of Anji, the closer on his début album.
Jerry says
Sure. I do plan to do Bert’s version of Anji.
Alexander says
It would be great if you could also do Bert Jansch’s version!
Jerry says
Hi Alexander.
Bert recorded it twice. This is his 2nd (1974) version.
