A couple days ago was the birthday for one of the greatest, and most overlooked guitarists ever .. Jeff Beck!  If you could somehow combine Keith Richards' and Ron Wood's faces - you'd get Jeff Beck's ... he looks just like he belongs in The Stones, it's weird!  They wanted him after Brian Jones died .. Pink Floyd wanted him ... but the Yardbirds got him.  But he was in a major car accident in 1969 and cracked his skull, causing him among other problems, terrible headaches for years.  That alone would probably have made it too difficult to stick to a rigorous schedule like that of the Stones or Floyd ... So he kind of went his own way, but also kind of helped out a ton of artists with side projects.. and he became a legend.  So today, Jeff Beck fans .. I salute you!
