Jeff Beck is the greatest rock guitarist ever, or so says band member John.  But actually this accolade is confirmed by the fact that Jeff always comes top of any poll among great guitarists when they're asked "Who's the guv'nor, then?"  Jeff may be 62 but his technique and musicality are without equal.  Live, he is simply stunning.  Below is a link to a video clip of Jeff Performing 'What Mana Said'  live in Tokyo in 1999.  The lady guitarist is the incredible Jennifer Batten.

This is a link to band member John's own site, Skyline Songs.  Drop by if you're interested in home recording and songwriting - there are some useful hints and tips.  There's also a lot of 'guitar porn' (!) and some fascinating pages on Billy The Kid and Oscar Wilde.

Seen any bad record album covers?  You haven't seen anything like this.   Be prepared for an exhibition of the poorest taste in design graphics you've ever encountered.  You'll find yourself gasping: "What on earth were they thinking of?" when you visit:

'Smooth Jazz' is a derogatory term in some circles for bland music, probably because the poorer quality smooth jazz is sometimes used for call-centre telephone on-hold music or for business conference 'coming-in-and-getting-seated' music!  But high quality so-called smooth jazz is being made by a host of talented musicians around the world and there's an awful lot to choose from.  Take a listen to the on-line smooth jazz site Smoothjazz.com and give it a chance to insinuate its beautiful sounds into your soul...

Here are some truly bizarre optical illusions which are so puzzling you will drive yourself nuts, especially the ones concerning colour perception.  It just goes to show how our minds can be manipulated, not from outside forces necessarily but from our own in-built expectations and conditioning.  It's no wonder magicians, advertising creeps and  politicians etc. can get away with what they do!.
