And then, out of nowhere, whack: another car smacked into me at a junction. Fortunately nobody hurt. But it was back to harsh reality getting contact details from the other driver, making arrangements for the car to be picked up and taken for repair. And of course my girlfriend to be phoned and told the driving holiday wasn't going to happen.
The weird thing is that when I think back on this what I remember best isn’t the shock of the accident, or how big a pain it was to get everything sorted out afterwards: it’s how totally blissed out I was in the moments before it happened. My new car, the sunshine, contemplating the upcoming holiday with a sexy girl, listening to Blow by Blow and imagining all the great music we'd be listening to driving round the country. What I'd expect to be a very negative memory actually feels like a very positive one. It’s always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Jeff Beck.
RIP Jeff
I really liked the Beato/ Pierce webcast, particularly Pierces contribution and insights.
RIP maestro.
Was never really a fan, mainly due to learning to play later in life I suppose. But I've read through the thread and listened to some of his stuff on YouTube this afternoon and can see why he was so admired.
RIP Jeff
Another guitar legend gone forever.
Sleep well Mr Beck.
He was the Stars Star and the players player.

It's just tasteful guitar playing like not many people are capable of. Rod's voice was perfect for it too. As you say I that would have been a wonderful album.
This put a tear in my eye...
Whilst I don't like everything Jeff recorded, he is still my favourite guitar player. I feel lucky to have lived in his lifetime.
And he looked totally cool dressed in all-white, something only he and Tony Curtis could pull off....ooh and Randall and Hopkirk.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, Jeff Beck's family home as a youngster was a couple of doors down from me and it would seem either his wishes or his family's wishes were for him to come home for the service.
The list of people that I saw there were as follows:-
Zucherro
John McLaughlin
Brian May and Anita Dobson
Roger Taylor (Queen)
Dave Gilmour & Polly Samson
Jimmy Page
Eric Clapton (turned up in a Hot Rod and a big nod to JB and his cars)
Tom Jones
Kirk Hammett - that was a big surprise
Johnny Depp
Imelda May
Beth Hart
Joss Stone
Bob Geldof
Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster
Robert Plant
Vic Reeves
Ronnie Wood
No Macca or Jagger but a massive surprise was............Kate Bush!!!!
I saw a copy of the Order of Service and the entry music was 'Where were you'
Readings came from Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Bob Geldof and Johnny Depp and performances from Imelda May with her band, including husband guitarist, Darrel Higham.
Beth Hart, Joss Stone
Exit Music - I'm goin' down
Apparently, it was recorded for Billy Gibbons and Stevie Wonder as they couldn't be there and they were mentioned and I think I saw John Mayall (can't confirm).
Thank you once again, Mr Beck and R.I.P
