Led Zeppelin

If mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me! Oh yes, a great verse from the greatest influence of Rock & Roll, Led Zeppelin. I was lucky to grow up with Zeppelin, and was fortunate to see them perform post John Henry Bonham era, it still was a blast to be a part of.

The albums and songs that have moved us through some tough times and the good ole times. The lyrics, melody and energy were that of inspiration, movement, and a lot of feeling. My favorite is Jimmy Page and the song that moves me most, is a blues lick called “Since I been Loving You”. A fan fare of good blues soul and rhythm from the great genius.

I am not sure how many of us were born in the early 60’s? I know one thing, no matter how old we are, we were part of a great era of rock, and that my friend is special.

I am sure you have read rumors that Led Zeppelin may tour in the US. I read this after they performed a one time only concert at London’s O2 arena on December 10th 2007. Jimmy Page really would like to do one last tour, but Robert Plant is still struggling with it.

Their not getting any younger, and now is the time. Jimmy is 62 and the window for this event is getting smaller.
