Really sad news- Lady Napsalot was actually crying last night
I bought a SONY portable stereo cassette recorder and some Sennheiser headphones at the Navy PX in Yokosuka, Japan in 1976 along with a few of my first cassette tapes, one of which was "Wired".
I also have a souvenir pick from a Jeff Beck concert in Seattle in 1980
RIP. As an amateur guitar player myself, I’ve always looked up to him quite a bit. He was one of my first main inspirations, no doubt about it. I truly hope his soul is at peace, and that his family will be okay throughout this difficult time.
This incarnation of his band with Vinnie Colaiuta and Tal Wilkenfeld was technically amazing.
