Fantastic! I'm looking forward to delving into your book. I have a YouTube channel devoted to Bonzo's drumming and I've always been curious to learn more about his work in the studio, the kits he used , miking...his overall approach to recording. Would you be up for a chat sometime, either email or by phone? Here is a link to my channel.

Not a problem, George. Best if you e-mail me: digbysmith@btinternet.com

I love interesting reads such as this book, sort of the “sleeper” type of book. After only 80 pages into this, I'm struck by the author's dedication in pursuing a dream, and it's a prime example of opportunity, hard work, attention to detail; combined with a bit of luck here and there, can push the human spirit to achieve when others fall by the wayside.  It's the type of book that I could read more than once, and for myself, that is a rare thing.

Thank you, Sir. Most kind.

I had the pleasure and privilege of assisting Andy Johns on much of Zepp 3 and 4 at Island's legendary Basing Street studios. This is by way of promoting my recently released autobiography, titled "One, Two, Three, Four" published by the Book Guild.

How very interesting and welcome to the Forum Richard. How's things down in sunny Torquay? Many a worst place to be in these times? 

All good here. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks, Mr.Smith. This look like a good read of the 70's era of which Zeppelin held sway.  I started reading the first chapter this morning.

Hope you enjoy. Thank you.

Worked with Free, too, right?

Yes indeed. Two of my favourite bands, Free and Led Zepp and I got to work with both of them!! Still can't believe it, 'cause I've always seen myself as being just a regular music fan.

As a staff engineer in the 1970's at Island Record's Basing Street Studios I had the pleasure of working with engineer Andy Johns on much of Zepp 3 and 4.

I assisted Andy on the night the band recorded Stairway and my book includes an account of this magical night in the studio.
