RIP Jeff Beck

For whatever reason it really bummed me out about Jeff passing on. Many of us grew up with these musicians and to me they are almost like kin folk. I saw Jeff with "The British are Coming" in the early 80's in Dallas. A great chance to see some heros even if in a non audiophile setting. BBA is my all time favorite stuff, but Blow by Blow and Wired were right with it. Then the whammy bar thing and I lost interest for years. As videos became common place it kind of rekindled my interest. He was a Great guitarist, very unique, a bit weird and very moody by all accounts. Hey..nobody is perfect. By the end of this decade most of my musical heros will be gone, me too maybe. That era will be the GOLDEN age of guitar and Rock and will NEVER be repeated or equaled in 1000 years. So...for the next millennium mostly crap that acts like it's music, with an occasional homage to greatness by a few talented historians.
