Hi Porgie66,
Watching the video you posted, it was interesting to see some of the other musical projects you're doing. High level musicianship.
I'm a guitarist/ composer also playing out in the Chicago area. I play a variety of styles, but at this time the band I'm playing with is more Latin and classic rock and pop emphasis. Lots of percussion. It's fun for me because of just playing Santana -type material note for note, I throw in some Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck licks with these Latin cats that aren't as familiar with the Zeppelin material ?
If you're up for getting out I'm doing a Cinco de Mayo gig at Shanahan's in Woodridge on May 5th and the following night May 6th at Homers on 47th st. And Racine in Chicago
Thanks.... Joe Schmidt

Very possible we crossed paths at some point! My musician friends and I used to go to see a funk band called Insight. We also used to catch Gallib Gallab, and Judy Roberts. Good times.
We did a gig with Arra at the Darien fest back in 2010. If it was totally up to me I wouldn't use the name Tarra, but you have to let go of some things.
I remember everything about the Zeppelin shows and I wasn't even playing guitar yet. I could tell they were rusty and Jimmy wasn't coordinating things properly. TSRTS had just come out 6 months prior and I had several bootlegs from 1970, 1971,1973 and 1975. This was not the same well oiled machine as earlier. Still, it was a tremendous experience.
I'd love to come out and see you , but I'm in Florida until next Sunday visiting my wife's family. Squeezing in a jam session on Friday night with some heavy players. A balanced vacation!
I moved out to Huntley in McHenry Country several years ago. Looks like you play in Lake Geneva with your band. That's as close as some of the Chicago gigs
