Jeff Beck was in our class at school, arriving when we were in the 3rd year. I remember he one day came in during the lunch break, when we were getting ready for the first class of the afternoon. He came in with a load of paraphernalia and went straight to the teacher's cupboard at the back of the music room and he sat on the floor. He was rather older than us, so he got immediate respect. We heard some notes coming out of the cupboard but had no idea how they were made. The boys that knew him best, relayed to the rest of the class, that Jeff was trying to make a guitar. However when he came out when the bell went, no guitar was yet made!! Eventually Jeff came out and sat in his seat. He was a bit older than us and the boys seemed to behave better in his presence. After School ended, I am sure that the rest of the class would have, like me, watched out for any news about Jeff, and now and then we would hear music associated with him. When I heard Hi Ho, Silver Lining, on somebody's radio, I felt it was not him, but at least he was getting heard! I felt that Jeff would not have liked that much, but eventually we began to hear music that suited Jeff rather more. I was glad that eventually jeff Beck had found his feet, and wished him well. Of course he was to do very well, and became a wonderful Guitarist with the Yardbirds and got better and better! Cynthia Allen-McLaglen
