Enjoy the poker night. I sat back and watched a few hands before sitting down to play and it really helped!
My top 3 Led Zeppelin tunes would be:
- Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
- That's the Way
- The Rain Song
Notice that they're all acoustic tracks. Their best work was done with minimal amplification or distortion, IMHO.
hello gang. i'm back. sort of. was spending way too much time here during the day so i needed to break the addiction by going away for awhile. anyway, hope all the regulars are doing well and welcome to the newbies. see you all sometime. cheers

So who still believe's in the pre-call?http://static.tsrfiles.co.uk/images/smilies/call2.gif
I want to send out some awesome luck to you all!! I am crossing http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...dnpOOdRbSA&t=1!!
That's a hard question. 3 fave Zep songs....I think it depends on the mood you're in.
the last three Zep songs I heard rank high on my list
- D'Yer Mak'er
- Rock & Roll
- Stairway to Heaven (of course)
Now if I may pose a question to all of you dear people.....It is alleged that Stairway to Heaven was "stolen" from this 1968 song by Spirit. It's only a couple of minutes, but have a listen & weigh in with your thoughts.
Here is the intro & link....Does it make you wonder?
From their self-tilted album from 1968. Jimmy Page was a fan of Spirit and early Led Zeppelin shows often included them performing Spirit's "Fresh Garbage." Page, who has become notorious for taking credit for songs that he blatantly ripped off from others (the first three Zeppelin albums were the worst offenders), took the descending guitar line from "Taurus" and used it for "Stairway to Heaven."

good evening all, be prepared for a rainy day, that is what they say. well today was it. i left to go to work and couldnt get in my truck, left the park lights on so the remotes dont work, thank you fancy electronics, try the key- it doesnt work. go inside have a tea, half soak already and call work, also gave me tiime to do reps. i cant find any tools except a nail prybar, so i try to open the hood of the truck with that and it actually works. so i figure i will get the car and boost the truck, oops the car keys are in the truck. luckily i tape a key under the car and from then on things went a little smoother, sorry i had to get it out. :rant: so how was your rainy day?

Hope everyone enjoyed their day.
Treat dispensers came for a visit today. They showed up really early (poor critters were still in bed), so I could drive my Dad to the courthouse for jury duty (well, jury selection). The good news is he's not watching the trial of a litle brat that brandished a firearm & tried to shoot at folks. Here's hoping he gets a nice white collar criminal tomorrow. :P
Night all.
congrats wayne.. here is a new phone in honour of you new heart..time to turn in the bat phone and use this bad boy;)

It's based on the same basic chord progression as Stairway but it's a bit of a stretch to say that Jimmy Page stole it. There are only so many chords and chord progression possibilities that sound good together and it's inevitable that you're going to find some similarities and apparent duplication. I've heard Randy Bachman talk about some of the chord progressions that he borrowed from other artists. I've even accused Andrew Lloyd Webber of stealing a couple of bars from Pink Floyd's Echoes for one of the pieces from Phantom of the Opera, but I'm sure he sees it differently.
1 for 4 on Sleuth!
You guys wouldn't believe how many tries it took to type those 14 characters!!!!!
Four more sleeps until Santiago, and with friends dropping over, I'm practicing early!
Hope everyone has a GRAND evening!
A Big Congrats to You Wolfie on Day 107!!!! Quite the Accomplishment!!! :-):-):top:
Good Luck Everyone! tomorrow! I'd like to check out New Orleans, but I'm not going to enter the rest of the words from yesterday, I just don't have time! Does anyone know how long the trip is for, is it three days again?
Actually, in a lengthy Piece I was just reading about Stairway to Heaven, it does claim that it is acknowledged...
"The guitar introduction is one of the most famous pieces ever played on the guitar, but was in fact borrowed from the song Taurus by Spirit, who were touring with Led Zeppelin at the time. They have been interviewed about this and apparently do not mind. It opens with an Am-Fmaj7 chord progression with a chromatic descending bassline A-G#-G-F#-F. "
Here is the YouTube Link, but take note: the quality of the song is not good (bootleg).
See for yourself...
