Always think of it as JimmyPage going the path of Producer & BandLeader - & JeffBeck the path of pure Gittar. I guess JeffBeck Group is like Beck's foray for that for his part. & of course the middle period of yARdbiRdS with JeffBeck is one of the best & most important things ever.

My dad LOVES Animal House. He was in a fraternity at Ferris State University in Michigan in the early 60s that sounds exactly like the Delta House. A frat house that was annihilated, beer chugging nerds, etc. My dad actually got booted out for having a D Day worthy GPA. To this day, it's easier getting accepted into Ferris State than it is community college - hahaha!

⦿Sun in ♒︎Aquarius, Year of Wood 🐖Boar
' Salvatore Phillip "Sonny" Bono (/ˈboʊnoʊ/ BOH-noh; February 16, 1935 – January 5, 1998) was an American singer, songwriter, actor, and politician who came to fame in partnership with his second wife, Cher, as the popular singing duo Sonny & Cher. A member of the Republican Party, Bono served as the 16th mayor of Palm Springs, California, from 1988 to 1992, and served as the U.S. representative for California's 44th district from 1995 until his death in 1998.
The United States Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, which extended the term of copyright by 20 years, was named in honor of Bono when it was passed by Congress nine months after his death. Mary Bono (his widow) had been one of the original sponsors of the legislation, commonly known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act. '

Of course Sonny Wrote & Arranged a lot - & like Brian Wilson (...in this anyhow) had been a major close range observer of Phil Spector's methods as Producer. & his voice offset Cher's distinctive & great voice - almost by chance you might say ?... No accounting for chemistry.
