Jeff Beck - passes away

One of the Greats. R.I.P.

Unbelievable. Incredible talent. I really did not expect this news. I heard he died from meningitis. RIP Jeff Beck.

I remember Rod Stewart doing knee bends with the mike and trying to look interested during Beck’s half hour solos.  I thought Beck got more interesting as a musician later in his career.  He could sure play the slide

We have roughly 8 billion people on our planet.   Read that an estimated 250k die from bacterial meningitis a year.   What are the odds of some being this gifted musically and then factor the odds again from being taken by this disease.   Hard to comprehend such things.

I saw him here in Phoenix a few years ago with Todd Rundgren, and Johnny Depp joined him on stage for a couple of songs. I saw him three times in all, once when he was with BBA, and he was always a solid performer. I think that he had a long and interesting life. That's something to celebrate even though he'll be missed.
