Today Jimmy Page celebrates his 65th birthday and my initial thought was to create a mix featuring his fine guitar work with everyone from The Yardbirds, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker, Tom Jones and of co
urse, Led Zeppelin. But I once got into trouble for simply asking the question "Does anyone have any interest in rare live Zeppelin CDs from Japan?" on a Led Zeppelin forum. The ZEP people don't take kindly to this internet stuff. So, Happy Birthday Jimmy. This weekend's mix is not for you.The Beatles, Boz Scaggs, ELO, Peter Frampton, The Easybeats, and The Beach Boys are just some of the bands that appear nowhere on this mix, BUT, there is a connection. Any ideas?
Freak out, dudes. Enjoy the trip.

I think McGear is Paul's brother Mike.
The Herd was Frampton's band.
Steve Miller used to play for Boz Scaggs

Well, Boz played with Steve Miller. Right on McGear and Frampton. Two more to go.
Ummm, ok let's see.
Grapefruit was the first band signed to Apple records
Idle Race was Jeff Lynne's group.
Gary Usher was with Sagittarius, wrote songs with Brian Wilson.
The Koobas were formed in Liverpool in 1962.
Not sure about The Easybeats connection.
That's it, I'm done. Grasping for straws. I'm TRIPPING MAAAAAN!!!
