Under the leadership of dictator Augusto Pinochet, thousands of little Chileans were snatched from their mother to be given up for adoption abroad. Anne-Marie discovered that she was one of these babies. Here is the story of a broken family. ici.radio-canada.ca/recit-nu… – at Ouder-Amstel, Nederland

With the death of Jeff Beck we have lost a wonderful man and one of the greatest guitar players in the world. We will all miss him so much.

🙏Now Jeff has gone, I feel like one of my band of brothers has left this world, and I’m going to dearly miss him. I’m sending much sympathy to Sandra, his family, and all who loved him. I want to thank him for all our early days together in Jeff Beck Group, conquering America.

When all those 60s American bands emulated the Yardbirds, it was Jeff Beck they were emulating. Not Clapton, not Page. What an ending to a network TV show, well before people were aware of Hendrix
