This just about has to be its band.

Stevie *AND* Jeff Beck? Horry CLAP!

It's a sign of my mentality of late that the first thing I thought when this started was "in what kind of world is Stevie a memory and Dear Leader and Co. will all live to be the pathetic shell of a human like dear Dead-Ted"

If you're a "guitar guy" then you understand...

If not, find a recording of Stevie playing Little Wing (<-- or just click).

Put it on a good sound system over some wine and candles, then look deep into your lady friend's eyes and say "If good lovemaking was music, this is what it would sound like" - 8 minutes later, when the song's over, if she's not putty in your hands, melting into her chair, either you have no game at all or she's a lesbian...

EDIT: If you're not a MAJOR Stevie fan, do yourself a favor: Put on your headphones, sit back, relax, close your eyes, and listen to the nuances in his rendition of Little Wing

Thanks to GrouchyOldCripple's archive for a much-needed bright spot in my day...

A truly great musician lost.

It always angered me that Eric Clapton's manager received larger press coverage over his death than Stevie received.

At least Jeff Beck aint dead yet.

Thanks for scarin' the hell outta me, DD. I thought that your post was implying that he'd joined Stevie. *Whew!*

I'll be over here waiting for the EMTs to arrive...
