Jeff Beck & Imelda May at the Grammys

This was my very favorite performance at Sunday night's Grammys (yes, I know Pink was amazing, but this one got to me), It actually brought tears to my eyes because, first, they were actually taking the time to salute the late Les Paul who changed the course of music.

Jeff Beck is amazing, I have seen him twice, once with Santa in Boston and once in London with Sting. Always fabulous. This is great, thanks for sharing!

I have listened to a lot of Jeff Beck since his induction last year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, to tell you the truth, I think he may be our greatest living guitarist. From what I hear, Les Paul was also a huge fan and the two played together occasionally on Monday nights at Indio in New York City where Les played up until a couple months before his death.

Isn't she? I guess she's been big in her home of Ireland and Britain but hadn't had much exposure here.

She's Irish and has been big there and in England but never really crossed over here. I've listened to her album and it's a really oddity. It's like she can't decide if she wants to be Wanda Jackson or a lounge singer. It keeps switching between rockabilly and a sort of Peggy Lee jazz. The thing is, both are really good.
