Jeff Beck dies at 78, a sad day
On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss. I always enjoyed seeing Jeff beck in concert, I consider him one of the greatest guitar players in the world. He will be missed.

Missing Aretha Franklin - 1942 - 2018
It's a sad day the Queen of Soul has left this world for Heaven. Today is my 68th birthday and again a great performer has passed on. In 1977 Elvis Presley died and today Aretha Franklin has died. In my humble opinion there has never been another female singer like Aretha. Her father was a Pastor, she grew in church and she never left her faith in Jesus Christ. Steve Turner said “Judy Collins covered four stanzas and a repeated first stanza in four minutes and four seconds. Aretha took two stanzas and wrung every meaning out of them over a period of fourteen minutes.” –Steve Turner on the hymn Amazing Grace. One of her greatest performances is "Live at the Fillmore West" She also recorded many gospel albums like Amazing Grace - The Complete Recordings. Take some time and listen to Aretha today.
