I'm a bit partial to the version as we hear in the Zeppelin movie. As far as that song. Well, and a couple others, too.

Jeez. Don't let me start on Page and Richards and their ilk. I'm such a blues purist, it's annoying even to me. For sake of decorum (read: love of humanity / common decency) I'll spare everyone before this becomes me pontificating in essays of opinion.

This is richness which must be addressed.

I'll cut & paste select blurbs from this / our ongoing thread, scribble a brief as to its 'reddit-casual' context, and send to Chris Carter, creator of the X-Files series, letting him know that within 7 to ten days I can then link him a second draft rough of a script for his approval.

Thanks for the primer.

I believe it's JPJ also on the "Ol' Man River" keyboard taping found on Jeff Beck's astronomically important TRUTH album.

And certainly on bass on Donovan's "Season Of The Witch" along with Page on guitar, as they accompanied much of Donovan's sessions.

Fwiw.

Oh and yes, Monkey Man is still somewhere amid my all-time top 10 from the band. No question.

I'll tell you no Little Lies in that they have a song or fifty which a time or several hundred have had me Hypnotized!

I've listened to many of their songs Over And Over, whether during Storms or on days there was Love In Store.

I Don't Want To Know just how they became so remarkably gifted, because I Walk A Thin Line in believing they definitely had an Angel in their presence and you can ask any Gold Dust Woman about this, this adherence to never breaking The Chain.

Idr whether credits go to John Paul Jones or Jimmy Page on the recording of "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do?" but that is some proper sweet mandolin!

One of my absolute top-tier piano Me-melters is amidst "Monkey Man" -- which forever I assumed was Ian Stewart, but recently I was told was Nicky Hopkins.

Fwiw, before he became a Stone, Ron Wood played several mean mandolin with Rod Stewart and the Faces.

Truly, one of the funniest books I've ever read (four times cover to cover, no less) is technically 'a novel', but for its most part reads like an autobio. This, coming from an almost entirely nonfiction kinda reader.

John Kenney was a copywriter in a NY ad agency for something like a decade-plus, as well as having contributed to The New Yorker magazine some smart-humored content to boot.

Turns out, his Truth In Advertising (released 2013?) is a terrific three-night read loaded with heartfelt legitimacy, snark-filled approaches in thought and dialogue, plus it effuses a most pleasant feel of pacing.

In fact, he himself cameos for a few seconds in the book's little three-minute intro over on y.t. titled (keywords) Focus Group Truth In Advertising John Kenney.

Hope you find it as engaging as I do!
