After our last conversation I went looking. www.jeffbeck.com. Been busy winning grammys for instrumentals the last 3 or 4 years. Only 2 yrs between albums, which is prodigious output for him. I don't have the newest one yet. He does some studio work. I can't remember the artist, but he told the story that Beck walked in, jacked his strat directly into the mixer, said "Give me some headphones", layed down a smoking track, walked out with a check. That was all that was said.

He also won some award for the remastered version of "Truth". It's not on Truth but "People Get Ready" gives me chills. I learned the solo note for note, after bleeding at the nose.
