is the physical joy he transmits (along with that hardy tone and the constantly evolving lines).
Saw him many times in the late 70's, into the 1980's & 90's and his stage presence always reflected his music.
He used a bell mic early on and would roam the stage in joy, a smile visible as he played,
obviously enjoying the music as much (if not even more than) the audience.
He's a treasure.
