Novel way to get a bridge pin out
You only need to watch about 60 seconds of this video. I have never seen or tried this way of removing a bridge pin and string from the peg - cringe!

Bridge Pin "extractor"
I love the comment he makes after pulling what's left of the string off the post. " Is there a dentist in the house?".

When I read "John" and the intimation that we'd see something nutty up-thread, I immediately guessed (correctly) who it'd be.
The performance of the Nick Drake tribute song that follows starts off a bit intoxicated in a less-than-optimal way but he catches it about halfway in--one of the particularities that can endear live performances. I like how he "fakes" the vocal delay in the recording by singing the echoes.

I had a John Martyn album that I bought in 1979, I think it was, and played it a LOT. He was a marvelous musician and singer. But those British friends and acquaintances of mine who were on the scene in the UK at the time have told me that he was a severe alcoholic and serial substance abuser with all the behavior (excuse me: behaviour) problems that come with those addictions.
So far as I know he never toured in America, or if he did he didn't ever make it to any of the cities where I lived. I would have liked to have seen him play..... - ......on a good night. whm

I remember reading an interview he did very late in his life.
He was being pushed around in a wheelchair after his right leg had been amputated below the knee. His large drink bottle was never out of reach. The interviewer discovered it was not filled with water.

I first encountered John Martyn when he turned up to do a "floor spot" (usually two or three songs) in a folk club in Richmond - late '60s (?)
He amazed people by bringing a small amp, and, I think, a Watkins copycat or an echoplex - early effects machine and plugging in a Yamaha guitar with holes drilled in the top. (This was heresy in a folk club!) But he played , using his fx, and captivated and horrified in equal parts. He was young, pretty, thin with a mop of curly hair to rival Art Garfunkel. Very cool. As his fame and reputation grew, I bought most of his albums, and saw him a couple of times number of times. In, I think, about 2006, the BBC did a documentary about him at the time he was morbidly obese, and had his right leg amputated - he was in a pretty terrible state, but still spirited and devilish. I remember that I found it a very disturbing programme. Obviously, I was sorry when I heard that he'd died in 2009, but I wasn't surprised. Here are some better memories : and
