Former rock publicist Connie DeNave remembers repping his band when they crossed over to the United States, and she said he put his music first.
An old pal of late rock legend Jeff Beck fondly remembers his love for his guitar.
And apparently not even a pretty lady could come between Beck and his instrument — at least during his early days as the guitarist for the Yardbirds. PR pioneer Connie DeNave tells Page Six, “I once teased him and said, ‘Any woman meeting you, they’re going to be jealous of that guitar’.”She was the band’s publicist when they first crossed the pond from England until they split in 1968.“He didn’t want to make a mistake. He might’ve been vulnerable outside as a man, but the music was perfectly safe in his keeping,” she said.“In my head, he was always creating or searching — even sitting in a room by himself or in a crowd.
DeNave, 88, is shopping her autobiograhy “I Rocked and I Rolled” about her days as a music publicist for rock bands like the Rolling Stones and Dave Clark Five.Beck replaced Eric Clapton as guitarist in the Yardbirds and was with the band for 20 months.“He loved that guitar — even when the band broke up, he did what he loved. The music was so solid in him that he didn’t ever walk the halls of fear. He always held on to his music,” she said.
