Led Zeppelin/Expert Profile
Expertise
I`m not only a Zeppelin fanatic, but I have been collecting Zeppelin - including Jimmy Page and Robert Plant solo music & information - for over 27 years. I am truly a lover of Page/Plant music in & out of Zeppelin simply because of the honesty & integrity of it all. - I have been studying them for as long as I have been listening to Rock/Blues Music. Their interpretation of the blues is unlike any other. I look forward to any question and will answer the very best I can - as above all - I am just a fan like you! (Please understand my interest is in the music and people of REAL life; NOT in rumor or fantasy).
Experience in the area
Lover of blues roots and rock music from early 1900's to today. Musician for 30 years, mostly study of guitar and recording engineering.
Publications
http://ledzeppelinconcertticket.net/zeppelin_concert_club_west.html (click the PINK ticket). Other miscellaneous articles from allexperts given to help anyone who asks. I love to share.
Education/Credentials
Sound mixing and engineering certification and self training.
What do you like about this subject?
The story of the people who created the music is many times more interesting than the music itself.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Zeppelin's motto is Ever Onward. I feel the same. Always learning not just through answers but through questions as well.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
I will no longer entertain questions regarding satanic messages or back-masking in regard to Led Zeppelin. These rumors are juvenile & untrue. We can hear anything if we want to. Zeppelin were about integrity & had no time for such foolish games. Zeppelin's 'mystique' was created by talent, not the Devil. Sorry. Also, I am NOT the best person to ask about the $$ worth or values of bootlegs.
