Influential to Mike and so many more ( Viv Stanshall not the least! ), instructional guitarist Bert Weedon's death has been announced.

His website has quotes and this little nugget of information.

So sad - we have to say RIP once again...

There was a copy of "Play in a day" in my house when I grew up. Quite a legacy Bert achieved. You have to wonder, sortof like the butterfly effect, would Mike have been inspired to learn guitar if he had *not* seen Bert on the television? Would we never have had any of Mikes music were it not for Bert???

RIP...
