70 years old ... man is the rock world getting old.

I didn't know that Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Keith Moon played on 'Beck's Bolero' - great tune.

all due respect to "Blow By Blow", but i've always preferred his followup "Wired".

Wired is pretty wound up. I am a Truth/Blow by Blow fan first.

Blow by Blow was better than wired only because it was the breakthrough that allowed Wired to happen.


But I'm partial to The Pump.

I got 'Truth' at a tender age as well - to this day "Ain't Superstitious" is one of my favorite songs.

My brother dragged me kicking and screaming into Beck's later work and I find I like that guy more than ever. His vids suggest that he is kind person and enjoys seeing other folks play well.

Miss you already, Jeff.

Thanks for the memories. No made a guitar cry like you did.
