    Great musician that did it his way. Passion of restoring classic cars and Hot Rods.

      Had to look him up, but 78 and somewhat famous, that's not too bad a life....
      I guess he never entered my musical sphere....

        I'm sure he did...you just didn't realize it.

          He identified George Harrison's greatest riff. No, not Taxman. John's self-described "throwaway" song on Sgt. Peppers, "Good Morning, Good Morning."

          Why did John call it that? Consider the other 3 songs he contributed to that album.

          RIP Jeff

            Sorry, don't know that song. And really not a fan of Mr. Stewart.

              I didn't really think he entered mine, but looking over what he did, it turns out I'd heard him a lot.
              I never paid attention to the band members, just the sound.

                One of the few musicians I ever bothered looking up the name of. His album "Wired" was excellent. All music, no words. Great stuff. Lots of great musicians are passing. Nobody gets out of here alive.

                      Totally agree! He was a gentleman in a world of azzholes....think Clapton for comparison.

                        A world class A-hole (Eric). I saw him at Madison Square Garden summer of '74. He was drunk.

                          I know some rock guitar players, they are around 63-65 years old and couple years back while talking guitar players from back in the day Jeff beck came up and they told me to check out his album "wired"

                          I did and really like this one..

                            I'm older than you, that's for sure, LOL....
                            Well I listened to it again, and nope, never heard it before. And I didn't like it. Kinda slow and boring, not really rock and roll....
                            As for Jimmy Page, sure I heard of him. I think I even have a Led Zeppelin album around here somewhere, but never was a fan.

                              I consider myself an Audiophile. I design and build my own Electrostatic Speakers. I have a pair of tapered 1/4 wave tubes I use now. I have an extensive collection of tube amplifiers, and some solid state Onkyo Receivers for the 7.2 surround sound you need for movies. I have a Sony 50" 4K T.V., and a 3 LCD Panel Projector for movies at 200" inches diagonally. Some music has to be played on good equipment that can reproduce the Holography for the average person to appreciate more than stereo. Others just know a damned good tune when they hear it. I also rebuild Violins.
