^ Thanks for posting that, Davey! Nice piece by Christian - well researched and written. And giving due praise to Alan Parker - one of my all-time favourite players - is never a bad thing.

Wait!!! does that mean that Donovan is NOT responsible for the formation of Led Zeppelin
Don't tell me Bonzo didn't play on HGM

One minor bungle in the presentation of the article is that the clip included, (of Jeff & The Yardbirds performing Heart Full of Soul), is a live TV appearance where no fuzz is used. Nice footage of the legendary ‘54 Esquire, he bought from John Maus of Walker Brothers for £75, still with white pickguard

Page met Bonham through meeting Plant, he had yet to meet Plant at the time of the HGM session... which Page didn't play on.

When my mum was a young girl her friend whom she went to school with traveled from a rather posh house over Hagley. I’m guessing my mum was 12-13 so 1970-71.
My mum would visit her friend and they would wait outside Bonzos house ready to see him if he came out.

It’s actually only a mile or 2 from where I live now.
