My Love Affair

Like most things in my life , I was either too late, or  too early . Or I was too distracted by life to really pay attention at the time of whatever it was to notice, and now I play catch up . I know I have talked about Led Zeppelin many times here, but once again I am tugged by their shear genius . I sit now listening to their classics and am so totally blown away by them .I have a love affair with them , a shame they don't know it ,lol.

The scale  and innovation of what they wrote is equal with many classical composers .Their skill is WOWERFUL! The guitar rifts, the drums, the harmony, the verses ,the power, the emotions .I could go on but I will save you from that torture .Sometimes when I listen to them , I am so completely amazed by what they accomplished when I stop to consider that they were on heavy duty drugs or alcohol  much of the time in that period of their life.There are many bands and artist that are equally talented but no one on this scale in my opinion .

The members of the band have gone on to do other things to much acclaim as individuals , or as in John Bonham's case , died .No mater what their endeavors may have been , they embody success .I love them.Once again , I give you a video from them to judge for yourself what you think.Enjoy!

Marrakesh Jam Secession

Here is another Led Zeppelin song from the MTV Unplugged concert series .Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are singing with Moroccan musicians and singers in Marrakesh , while each group are singing  in their own language and their own lyrics . Love this one . It is a real musical jam session .

Led Zeppelin And Solitaire

I like to zone out now and then playing solitaire on the computer and listening to music . Last night I was doing just that .I found a bunch of classic Led Zeppelin songs .As I listened to them , realized how timelessly classic they were . The music is just as awesome as the first time I heard it . The lyrics are as relevant today as they were " back in the day" . The talent, amazing .

I heard Led Zeppelin growing up and it was like back ground music to life , you know , you hear something but don't really pay that much attention to it ? Their music was in all the disco's and club that we went to , but again , I just heard it , not felt it .My nephews and kids actually were the ones that truly introduced me to Led Zeppelin.  Same thing with Pink Floyd , but that is another story for another time .

How crazy is it to " discover ' something that has been around for years in your life and yet never noticed . Anyway ,I thought I would share with you one of my favorite tunes by Led Zeppelin, "Kashmir" , played unplugged in concert on MTV . I think this is the way the song was meant to sound in the beginning . It makes me think of Libya's wadis , or dry river beds, that come to life only in the rainy season.
