Wow Jim...that's a groovy song..can't say that I ever heard
it..but me sure likey it now. O0
I hope you sang lead, because that guy sounds a lot like you and
with your voice inflections.

I know you had to hear Love's version of "Hey Joe"...It predated
both the Byrd's and Jimi's version.
I eventually sang lead on it. We had a singer when we first
started covering it, but he quit to take a regular gig at
Shakey's Pizza playing banjo and singing old ragtime stuff.
First practice after he left I sang "Money", The Beatles version
and the guys immediately dubbed me singer. My voice was
considerably higher then and I sounded nothing like Arthur Lee
at all, but I always dug the menace in his voice. Couldn't even
get close at the time, but I guess close enough for our guys at
the time.

love that line 'dug the menace in his voice' &#128076;

Another Dick Clark Show favorite...
My Dad went crazy when he heard this song on the radio driving
hone from work...
He talked it up no end..
Then we got to hear/ see the magic on American
Bandstand..

Fender guitar again, on the cutting edge..
I'm not a Deist..but it seems like someone in a higher authority
picks kids of every ilk, race, religion..economic background to
be the standouts of their generation..

Gawd I love that song....Remember it from my kiddom...Just
beautiful. I think the guitarist is playing a Gretsch, but
unsure of the model.
So many people have covered it...I think I posted a video of
Danny Gatton doing it on a Tele over at Brain Vomit, but Joe
Walsh, Jeff Beck, Leo Kottke...So many others have covered it,
and respectfully too. But there just ain't nothing' like the
real thang is there?
This thread was a good idea..

"My Little Red Book" was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal
David. Manfred Mann did it also. It has a quirky sound that I
find appealing.

Leo Kottke and Chet Atkins covered it together on acoustics..
Les Paul does a soulful jazzy version.
Not a big Satriani fan, but his cover is IMO one of the best.
So many other guys too...
I think it is an obligatory thing.
Some covers I love the least are by Jeff Beck and Brian Seltzer
water. :)

I dunno about Jeff recording it..I saw a youtube thingie awhile
back where he did it with a horn section live.
My wife and I were going to the store this morning and she was
commenting on a concert we saw in Philly at the Robin Hood
Dell..Santana headlined, I think it was 1995-1996, Jeff played a
great show..
Santana came on.. killed it with his great show..
Santana kept asking Jeff to come out and join him but he kept
refusing..
we never saw anything quite like that..
How 'bout you guys?

Jeff has a rep for being a bit cranky at times.
What a lot of people don't know is that he likes working on Hot
Rods as much or more than he likes music.

I have only heard one negative story about Jeff Beck. He jammed
with Slash at a soundcheck before a GnR show, and called Slash
the next morning complaining how he got tinnitus from their loud
gear.
I've heard so many stories about Clapton, yet I still think he'd
be cool to hang with. Jimmy Page, on the other hand...

Thanks, me Droogs ..for the feedback.
no pun intended.
From what I have gleaned from seeing him live, a smattering on
times, he is good being in a band, but prefers to play solo with
a 'band' to accompany him.
He gets very talented people to play with him..and
introduces/assists new talent on the road to stardom...
to wit.this lovely woman-child, Tal Wikenfeld.
I read an article, that she felt a bit 'controlled' after JB
insisted that he 'assist' her on a bass solo.
IDK.

Looks like she isn't a bit perturbed to me.
