The Audio Sausage factory radio program is an amalgam of funk, rock, jazz and electronic dance music. It is a boogie-down backdrop for a radical (and hopefully witty) political message of unbridled personal freedom and skepticism of authority that is designed to help you deal with your day. The station vanguards even trust him with the key to the VINYL VAULT so expect a few 33rpm chestnuts every week. The program has been described by some as an “endearing mess that starts my mental cascade towards the weekend ”
It was yesterday I heard the news Geoffrey Arnold Beck (24 June 1944 – 10 January 2023) past away at 79 years old he never stopped jamming, improving and cultivating his craft the mastery of the six string guitar.
Beck ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone and other magazines' list of 100 greatest guitarists.[4][5][6] He was often called a "guitarist's guitarist".[7] Rolling Stone described him as "one of the most influential lead guitarists in rock".[8] Although he recorded two hit albums (in 1975 and 1976) as a solo act, Beck did not establish or maintain the sustained commercial success of many of his contemporaries and bandmates.[7][3] He recorded with many artists.[9]
Beck earned wide critical praise and received the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance six times and Best Pop Instrumental Performance once. In 2014 he received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.[10] He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a member of the Yardbirds (1992) and as a solo artist (2009).

Beck's solo album Blow by Blow (March 1975) evolved from these sessions and showcased Beck's technical prowess in jazz-rock. The album reached number four in the charts and is Beck's most commercially successful release. Beck, fastidious about overdubs and often dissatisfied with his solos, often returned to AIR Studios until he was satisfied.
