Happy Birthday Jimmy Page
A day deserving of special mention. My long-time guitar hero Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin’s inimitable guitar wizard, turned 66 on January 9th, 2009.
Jimmy magickally kept me connected to the guitar, even through the years that my own guitars sat alone, seemingly forgotten… though I must say that lately they have been getting quite a bit of play. I’ve been intently learning some new tunage (check out Vanderbilly.com), the latest of which are “The Rain Song” and “Bron-yr-Aur”. Both of which are beautiful guitar ditties any guitarist would joy to diddle with!
It was also Jimmy Page that clued me into the Law of Thelema when I as a teenager. Long Live the Great Beast Aleister! For these things and more, I am grateful that Mr. Page was born.
