    A real shocker. Saw him at Jazzfest in N.O. In 2010, he rocked! Always a professional. Loved how he played with his fingers like Mark Knopfler. RIP

    R.I.P. Mr. Beck.

    You gave me plenty of music to test new stereo stuff by.

    One of my favorites;
    "Space for the Papa". +
    "Big Block/Caroline, No"
    10.28 minutes of JAMMING, BASS, and classic Beck-Melodic mastery.

    This was a gut punch. One of my 3 favorite guitar players. So innovative, so effortless, so classy. He will be missed. He rarely tours the US and when he does many times never in the Midwest. He was on my bucket list to see. :'(

    RIP
