[Does anybody know what Magic Mike looks like?]

ok i will try to  track down a guy who used to wheel mike into the concerts ,he will tell you mike is long dead ,i was heavily involved in bootleg industry since knowing vicky from anaheim ,a store called beggars banquet,infamous for getting busted back in 1970s 

he lived alone with his elderly mother ,never married ,when friends asked to have access to his room ,mom refused (if i knew his tapes still were in his room ,i would risk prison to break in to his old room)

suicides are rarely posted in obits ,not something you want relatives friends to know about

Yes, Jimmy is with Jones hewing closer to the riff, and we hear Bonham shuffle a bit into the hippie-Latino cha-cha-cha that Spirit begins with.  Spirit's song departs from the riff into the chorus and then swings into a Coltrane-type middle section.  It's very latino jazz rock fusion. They abandon a great riff.  Zeppelin agrees with none of that, and sticks to the riff, piecing out an improv over that great bass line.  It doesn't sound like Jimmy has much familiarity with Spirit's song.  I am entirely biased, of course, and I do not want to believe that Jones is lying when he says he doesn't remember who brought it in.  Based on who's doing what (Plant again doesn't reference the Spirit lyric) it's either Jones or Page, possibly Bonham.  I'm leaning toward the rhythm section because it doesn't sound to me that Jimmy and Robert have much familiarity with how Spirit handles the riff, or are purposefully avoiding it because they don't like how Spirit marooned such a cool riff.  Bonham may have been drawn to "Fresh Garbage" because of the Latino percussion sounds. It's Bonham, I say.  Maybe Jimmy will remember better than Jonesy. I agree, Strider, there is no need to pull a Jake Holmes trip r.e. "Fresh Garbage", as it doesn't have much to do with "Taurus" despite both being on Side One of Spirit's debut album.  Maybe I am being naive.

Alright, interesting note:  the author of "Fresh Garbage" is Jay Ferguson, Spirit's lead singer, also in charge of percussive flourishes like the Latin drums we hear in "Fresh Garbage."  In fact, Ferguson wrote most of Spirit's first album. "Taurus" is the only song with Randy Wolfe's name on it, and Mark Andes the bass player contributes on two of the 11 tracks. LINK album notes here.  So where oh where is Ferguson in all this?  Why have we not heard from him?   He's alive and well, scoring the music for "NCIS: Los Angeles", according to wikipedia.   Like Jimmy, he's friends with Joe Walsh or was at one point.  I'd be very interested to hear what the singer who wrote 90% of Spirit's debut album has to say about this lawsuit.  

jay testified 1 st n 2nd days ,was vague as to when and where things happened ,taurus wasnt played live ever

There has not been any sightings of Page & Plant wandering around LA ? Or seen eating at a restaurant ?   It's understandable they best to be out of the spotlight or away from press till court is over.

Wondering what they doing ?  Jamming out together in the hotel room; Plant has a harmonica and Page an acoustic jamming and eating Chinese takeout.

The picture of the dude a couple of posts above can be found easily when you search Mike
Millard images.  Anyhoo the link the picture is associated with opens up to a web a page
called geni.com.  A family tree web site of some sort.  The  picture represents somebody by
the of name Mike (Millard) von Halle.  It also says he has a wife by the name of Barbara née
(Meacham)

Millard was Mike's fathers first name.  I suppose he could have used his middle name as
a last name within a 'trading' circle,  but the wife card has never been mentioned with him.

 

mike was never married
