I got a lot from his early guitar style, which was pretty traditional "Carter Family" . The stuff that Mickie Most produced 1966/69 netted some of Donovan's best songwriting, but unfortunately, he took the flower power stuff a bit too seriously, and there was some pretty silly stuff as well..."I Love my Shirt".
It was in the "Hurdy Gurdy Man" sessions that John Paul Jones first hit up Jimmy Page for a slot in his new group which was formerly the Yardbirds..... John Paul Jones is a fine mandolin player and record producer. Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck were fine guitarists for the Yardbirds. No comment on Jimmy Page. I wish him well. Dan BTW - The Mrs. still likes a Donovan song here and there, but much prefers what I'm doing with "Black's Run" on the octave mandolin. Thanks, Tater !!
