  1. This one is sad unfortunately ,,,it's an obit.....but I think it is a very cool one....,.

    McKAY, Ian
    June 24, 1949 - September 16, 2014
    Born in Maryport, England. Attended Sir Charles Tupper Secondary. He was a real Vancouverite of the times, a Kitsilano hippie; he and The Papa Bears opened for Led Zeppelin. He lives on at www.projectbabelart.com. He was either a nice tough guy or tough nice guy, and he took on life and just gave it all he could. Complain, never. Legally blind, but he had vision. An artist, a generous and funny man. Acknowledgement and thanks to the nurses, care workers, support staff, social workers, doctors and volunteers who cared for him since his stroke. It has been said that the death of someone can leave the world a poorer place. Not in Ian's case; his spirit prevails.

  2. That's a lovely photo. Who's the lady?

    That is Holly Williams ! Talented in her own right. She is the grand daughter of country great Hank Williams Sr ( I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry )

  3. Most people who are heavy into music know Cry Me A River, it is a popular and well known song in its own right....and to suggest it even remotely turned up in Stairway...??? Thanks for my laugh for the day.

    All music is derivative....and that is not theft.

    I get so annoyed when all this talk of thievery surfaces....

    If the tables were turned.....and Taurus had become an iconic and best selling song of all time for Spirit would we even be having this conversation?

    I think not...

  4. This certainly will not hold up in a court as it is a fact that one cannot copyright a chord progression. If this were not so then I am sure the composer of Taurus ( Randy California) would have sued LZ when he was still alive. Ascending or descending....the two songs are not alike and it smells of a cash grab for Mark Andes....

  5. So who is the mustachioed chap in chic boots standing next to Jimmy in the third photo?

    Longshot of a guess here Strider...but Jimmy has mentioned in the past about a friendship with a French rock journalist named Philipe Paringaux...since the airport is Orlys...perhaps that is who that is?

  6. Blond guy? When the original photo was posted on the site, I thought it was a woman!!! Oh no!!!

    Don't feel bad....look at the guy in the photo in the background behind Jimmy....looks like he's trying to decide too!! :lol:
