Born today the great Bert Jansch (Pentangle)

5. YAY! The Pentangle Was One of My Favorite Groups of All Time!!!

Although I loved just about every song they did, my all time favorite was "Once I Had a Sweetheart". I really liked the sitar in it, and thought it was really groovy. I was really into Indian music when I was in high school in Japan, and checked out just about every book I could find on Indian music from the library of the Indian embassy in Tokyo. I also borrowed this guy's sitar for a month and played on it, and after I gave it back to him, I made my own version of a sitar from local materials and sitar strings that were procured for me by the Indian embassy. That was before I got into the Pan Flute, but I was making my own flutes from bamboo and other materials in high school as well. I leave you with a link to a video of "Once I Had a Sweetheart":
