Musician and car nut.
One of those events which makes you feel old, having followed the work of a person for decades - and suddenly, they’re dead at 78. https://twitter.com/jeffbeckmusic/st...94003398799360 |

Absolutely no indication he was sick. Still recording and performing. Woke up to a bunch of texts, cant believe it. A true legend has passed. RIP JEFF. (I stuffed up and posted this in the Pits) |

Funny you should post that up, soon as I read the news my inbuilt music library put on Blow by Blow.
Bit of the car side here, from 2016: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/...beck/89026794/ |

but seriously , who remembers the early days of internet radio? There was a station out of the UK that would stream 12 or 24 hours a day by a single artist at a time. I had a program called ripcast that could record streams from up to 8 stations at a time and I filled a DVD with jeff beck music with that program. The station started with the earliest stuff they could find and just laid down track after track . I think it was called oxfordshire oldies or something like that. They were broken up by commercials and DJ talking but I ran all of it through an audio editor and snipped out most of the chatter and resaved the songs. I think most of the stuff predated the tour he did with Tal , it was probably 2002 or 2003 . Internet radio stations didn't last much beyond that

Jeff Beck was a huge car guy and didn't mind the odd 32 Ford.....
Part of Jeff's car collection...

Yeah I meant in the weeks leading up to whats happened.
He was pretty active, doing that recent project with Depp and playing on Ozzys latest album. I've got Truth and Beck-ola spinning here this arvo. Such a unique playing style, nobody sounds like him. |
