It is now Sunday night here and its been a long sunny day of football (which we love) but the Indian summer has continued. It is hard to believe this is an English autumn and that October beckons but no one is complaining. Tonight I was thinking about what clip to post and I have decided on this - Jeff Beck is WELL KNOWN for Hi Ho Silver Lining (which is a bit of a joke) - but there is so much more to him than that. I truly love listening to this, but watching him play Nitin Sawhney's, Nadia (which you can catch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJT7f5W7QB8)fascinates me, the dexterity and sheer control of what he is doing reveals an elecric guitarist, completely in control of his instrument - a master craftsman at work and a great tunesmith - with a space boogie too, we really are star-folk - and what an amazing band. The bass player is a New Zealander - which brings a certain symmetry because did I not mention I would be going there this year:
