Just an incredible player/performer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXf9CLQbpI0 Look up the latest performances on youtube of "Thornley". Ian is a monster! AND this greasy slab of blues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPzzE7TN9LI

A little digital painting of Alana & Kaylee. Gonna be a Christmas present for my daughter. SSHHHH! Don't tell her. PS All your pix are funny/cool/wonderful! I check them out every day. Sorry for never being specific.

Thanks Beat! I'm kind of a journeyman graphic guy myself. I've been knocking around in the visual business for 25 years. Before that it was just a hobby. Here's my business website: www.bukworx.com Here's some more "creative" stuff, mostly really old drawings: http://buk.cgsociety.org/gallery/ God willing, if ever I get the skills/time/money I've got an animated short film in me.

I just watched a bunch of clips on youtube. I have a HUGE grin! How can anyone not love these guys. What a show this is gonna be!

Thanks. I hope to get a bit more finished soon.

Here's an old one I'm trying to revive. It's slow going. I don't paint much any more. It's fun AND frustrating at the same time.

An old Big Wreck tune played with incredible taste. I Love his tone.

His fan base is not very wide, but it is deep. Witness my incessant postings on this guy. He's got EXTREME talent.

"Like A Hurricane" from a recent benefit show. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vEJshymxdvQ He's really GOOD!

Since you bring up the "nearly mighty" Physical Graffitti: I always loved to dance. From the time I was 3-4 dancing on the bar to "Summertime" by the Jaimies in '64 (hey, I was a little kid raised by wolves) to the "Twist" contest my sister and I won at a town picnic. I always dug the dancing. When my brother and I went to see a local (East coast US) Zep impersonation band called Physical Graffitti (they were incredible, by the way) at supper club (tables and a dancefloor) in the 80's, I met this wonman named Rose. We compared pix of our kids, we were both married yada, yada, yada. Anyway we both were huge Zep fans. The band came on and after a few songs the dancefloor was empty. She and I decided to dance. I just met her, but we had this incredible Zep-in-the-veins connection. We danced to 4-5 Zep numbers, as if we were ballroom dancing. Spinning, dipping, shuffling and clutching like no married people should be doing outside of their marriage. It was such a perfect moment of Zep in motion that after the band finished up the first part of the set, the band applauded us, and the whole joint acknowledged the moment. I've never danced professionally (I cannot stand the rehearsed aspect of dancing - if it doesn't come in a moment of inspiration I don't want to do it), I had never met this woman before, or since, but in a moment under the Zeppelin magic, even twice removed, we were like puppets to the music. We let the music be our master, so to speak. I'll never forget it. All this to say that, I ALWAYS thought of Zep to be dance music. If you watch clips of Jimmy, it's clear that his Gibson was his dance partner. He just couldn't resist.

Bro, Have you heard his 18 or so demos over the last 4 years? Some are sketches, some are monster compositions! Lookee here: http://drop.io/thornleyfans2/asset/lookwhatifound-live Message me for all.

Hey cool. I'm from Jersey here in the US and got hooked on their first CD in '97 when NY stations were hawkin' The Oaf. Incredibly Zeppelin-esque IMO. Perhaps it's an acquired taste for some.

Med, Thanks for the kind words. Just fishin' for compliments. haha.

You're kiddin' me, right? Search "Thornley" on this site. If I'm not attached to every mention I'll eat my foot. I have been Glad to see another Zephead feels the connect to Big Wreck. The new Thornley is gonna drop next month.

Medhb, We are the proud GRANDPARENTS! Me and Bet having infants!..... Bite your tongue!

That was precious! Wakeman is a pisser! HaHaHaHa!

That's my wife!!!!! But thank you. She's mortified that I post her pics. But she'll be secretly thrilled that such a young guy thinks she's cute! It just reminds me of how blessed I am.

Lucy our happiness is hard won. There's always a back story. God is good.
