Judy is an original composition by John inspired by the “folk/baroque” piece, Anji by British guitar player Davey Graham. John describes Judy as, “a piece of mock medieval minimalism”. Played with a back beat in 3/4 time against an appealing syncopated melodic pattern. Anji is the hugely influential piece composed by British guitar player, Davey Graham Influenced by the monotonic right hand bass style of Big Bill Bronzy and also the song ‘Cocaine Bill’, it was the piece that inspired the term ‘folk-baroque’. it was also recorded by Bert Jansch and Paul Simon. When you were a budding folk guitar player in England you HAD to be able to play this tune!! The essence of these two tunes is that they both have three sections with counterpoint bass and treble lines.
