Rock and Roll was never the same…

On this day in 1968, Led Zeppelin signed with Atlantic Records! Believe it or not, the execs at Atlantic had never seen Zeppelin (which makes sense when you consider that they had just played their first gig 2 months prior), and Ahmet Ertegun is rumored to have based his decision on a recommendation from Dusty Springfield. Jimmy Page showed up on signing day with the tapes for Zeppelin's first album in tow, and was immediately handed a check for $200,000 - an amount that was virtually unheard of at the time (approximately $1.1 million in today's dollars). Led Zeppelin I was released two months later...and the rest is history! \m/

Guitar heroes!

Jeff Beck:

"When I saw Stevie on the Guitar Shop Tour in '89 or '90 he was completely cleaned up, playing better than ever. I was just amazed; he could make me rediscover the blues every night. He showed me some fantastic photos of his heroes, like Howlin' Wolf. There was complete respect for them, but there was also deep comedy in those pictures. I think the funniest was a picture of Howlin' Wolf sitting in a speedboat in a driveway outside his house. Stevie carried these around, and once he had made a few dollars he bought an air conditioning unit and had his picture taken by the air conditioning unit as a kind of status symbol. He thought that was the greatest thing. He was well-loved. Stevie's the American apple pie blues guitarist par excellence. He's American and a southern boy; he had all the credentials to be top of the heap, and he was".

It was a wonderful tribute and if you have a chance to catch it, just search for the Foo Fighters Taylor Hawkins Tribute on YouTube, it’s about 6+ hours and it is awesome!

What was already an impressive lineup grew even more so with some late additions and surprise guests during last night's tribute to the late Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium in London. The night's music opened with the Foo Fighters backing Liam Gallagher on the Oasis songs Rock and Roll Star and Live Forever. Other highlights included Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme joined by Nile Rogers, Jane's Addiction's Chris Chaney doing David Bowie' s Let's Dance, Taylor's side bands Chevy Metal and Coattail Riders did versions of the Talking Head's Psycho Killer and T. Rex's Children of the Revolution, with Wolfgang Van Halen later joining the Riders on VH's Hot For Teacher. Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones reconvened Them Crooked Vultures for the first time in 12 years to do Goobye Yellowbrick Road. Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders emerged with Dave Grohl on bass to do Brass In Pocket, Precious and Tattooed Love Boys. Joe Walsh brought former James Gang members out to play Walk Away, The Bomber and Funk #49, with Grohl playing drums on the closing song. AC/DC's Brian Johnson and Metallica's Lars Ulrich teed-up Back In Black and Let There Be Rock. Police drummer Stewart Copeland did Next to You with the Foo Fighters and added Gaz Goombes on Evey Little Thing She Does Is Magic. Rush veterans Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson performed 2112 Overture (Grohl on drums), Working Man and YYZ. Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor raised the roof with We Will Rock You, I'm In Love With My Car and Under Pressure with Roger Taylor's son Rufus and Luke Spiller of the Struts, followed by May doing a solo acoustic rendition of Love of My Life. The Foo Fighters took the stage with rotating drummers Omar Hakim, Josh Freese and Travis Barker to do Times Like These, All My Life, The Pretender, Monkey Wrench, Learn to Fly, One of These Days and Best of You. Unannounced guest Paul McCartney then emerged with Hynde to join the Foos on the Beatle songs Oh! Darling and Helter Skelter. The epic evening drew to a close with the Foo Fighters doing Aurora, then bringing out Taylor Hawkin's son Shane who did a phenomenal job playing drums on My Hero, after which Dave Grohl did Everlong solo.

What influences shape your world? People you're close to? Your family? Is there someone in social media that you could attribute some change in your life, interests?

I am curious, as the so-called influencer thing is more than a catch-phrase.

A few words about us...

Thank you for taking time to look at our services. It has been a challenging time for all of us. Looking forward in our changing world is a good thing as we work to plan a safe, fun event together for you and your guests.

Core values are important, such as treating everyone equally and with respect. Defining the scope of equality is important and necessary. Which includes, diversity: the range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs.

Also inclusion, as involvement and empowerment, where the inherent worth and dignity of all people are recognized. An inclusive business promotes and sustains a sense of belonging; it values and practices respect for the talents, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of living of the clients we serve.

Be safe, be kind.
