'Cause We've Ended As Lovers

...but it is only the beginning.

I saw an unbelievable performance last Tuesday night. I saw Jeff Beck at the legendary Ronnie Scott's Club in Soho. It was stunning. Literally beyond brilliant. I was just 10 feet from the stage. I could see the guitar strings vibrating. It was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. I am still in awe. Most of you are probably aware I am huge Jeff Beck fan and I love him immensely. I am so happy 'Cause We've Ended as Lovers' was part of the repertoire this time (it wasn't when I saw him at Massey Hall in T.O. a few years ago). It was so close to the perfection of the album I cannot believe it - but alive and for that moment only. He spans every single emotion in that song (and others).

Ronnie Scott's is a small traditional jazz/blues club. To see an artist of this caliber in such an intimate setting is an experience I cannot really convey. I am still elated. I am sure the glow of this will always be with me (as it is from the first time I saw The Who). The band was fantastic, and it renewed a progenitor spirit in me. Jeff is really unique, and always true. That is an inspiration that can conquer the world. But - like a true Beck - I am not interested in that. I am interested in the strength in overcoming it.

Jeff points the way with a guitar and a spirit that shines through in everything.

Thank you, JB
