music in the shed

Have you ever wondered how the mighty Led Zeppelin would sound if, in a parallel universe, John Paul Jones had declined, and stayed put doing session work?............. Also, if Robert Plant had done the same, and decided his future lay elsewhere, staying on with Obs-Tweedle?

No?.... Fair enough.

For anyone curious though, have a listen to this. On this particular song you have: Jimmy Page on lead guitar, John Bonham on Drums,
Noel Redding (Hendrix Experience) on bass. Oh yeah...., and, um...., Screaming Lord Sutch on, (ahem) 'vocals'.
Can't have everything I suppose, not in this particular universe anyway. Interesting all the same.
Also present on other album tracks, Jeff Beck and Nicky Hopkins.

You may not be familiar with the latter? Just look him up, and see who he worked with, to get an idea of the guys' calibre.

Lord Sutch, aka 'Screaming Lord Sutch', was indeed an actual Lord (a member of the House of Lords). I saw him perform at the Reading Teachers College (1969) when I was a truant from school at a time when my brothers and I were circumnavigating the globe, in tow with my Dad, a forgettable concert.

50th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmond Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.
This is Gordon Lightfoot’s epic song commemorating the 29 who perished.

Very poignant tribute. Our own (IOM) equivalent will be remembered in about 3 weeks time - the sinking of the Ellan Vannin in 1909 with all aboard lost in a gale and wild seas at the entrance to the Mersey.
This is a song by Hughie Johns of the Spinners, recorded at concert in Liverpool a couple of years ago. Sends shivers up my spine every time I hear it.
 
Where to start....? The Lightfoot and Jones songs are just lovely. Hadn't heard the Manx song before.
Both fitting epitaphs for the lost, and their loved ones. They bring a tear that's for sure, and once heard, not forgotten.

Fanny? What's not to like? One of the all-time best girl bands (imho), playing my favourite Cream song. Result.

You gotta love Squeeze. Stellar musicians one and all. Non more so than drummer extraordinaire, Mr David Leslie Gilson Lavis. R.I.P.

The first track I had in mind to post here was a little more raucous, but no, this one will do fine.

N.B. If you think it's a little noodly-doodly to start off with, then at least stay until you hear the guitar piece in the middle. Performed by the best player you may never have heard of, Peter 'Ollie' Halsall. It's wonderful.
