RIP, the most unregonized guitarsit in rock.
And i think he wanted it that way.
I saw him at the Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS Concert in 1983 at Madison Square Garden- Beck was fantastic and everyone was hyping it as the start of his grand comeback. He then went back into seclusion once the tour ended rather than capitalizing on it.
I didn’t know he was unrecognized. I know little about guitarists, but everytime “the best” comes up, I do hear his name. Maybe it is just me-is he indeed obscure to the “general music public”?
That said, this is indeed a biggie. May he RIP. With luck, he will get a guitar instead of a harp, but...that will be interesting no matter if we are lucky enough to get there.
Imagine him playing a harp? Hahaha, pick it up and hold it sideways! Well, he brought lots of people music that they liked.
