TypeO Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ran across a random blog with a pretty amusing picture of young Master Page showing he had a pretty firm idea what he wanted to do with his life. The blog comments were somewhat negative, but as is usually the case, eventually a loyal Zeppelin fan came to Jimmy and LZ's defense. Then... Later...

He said, I believe it was in this most recent Mojo interview that he said that because he was so nervous on the show that he said what he was studying in school that week.

I saw this awhile back on my husbands guitar forum and found it on Youtube. When these videos are posted there is no control on what frame is showing on the still, I think, I am just learning how to do this. I know that the still frame is not Jimmy, but one needs to watch the video to see Jimmy after the introduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I just found this on Youtube. It is sort of relevant as it is one of the songs that Jimmy and Jackie DeShannon wrote together. I think it is Jimmy she is talking with at the beginning. I thought it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 can someone confirm if it's jimmy or not?? Steve A. Jones maybe??? In my opinion the photograph is not Jimmy, who got his first guitar at the age of twelve or thirteen if you believe the internet, fourteen if you believe Jimmy. I have been meaning to trace the origins of the photo as I believe it is yet another internet hoax/rumor. The b&w videoclip originally aired April 6, 1958 and is from the BBC children's television programme 'All Your Own', hosted by Huw Wheldon, produced by Leonard Chase, edited by Joanne Symons, with music directed by Griff Lewis. 'All Your Own' 1954) Hosted by Huw Wheldon (later to become Managing Director of BBC Television). It offered youngsters a platform to show off their particular skills, such as model making or playing musical instruments. Although in later years he chose to ignore the fact, it was here that Huw Wheldon first cut his teeth as a presenter. He had a brisk, no-nonsense manner which went down well with the viewers. He would stand, forever questioning, fingers spread over cheek, the little finger bent to the corner of his mouth, nodding in obvious interest as small boys explained how they made a boat out of matchsticks, or a Japanese child demonstrated how to make tea. Having interviewed a small boy who had built a life-size harpsichord out of match-sticks, he turned all avuncular and posed the obvious question: 'And what do you plan to make next?' While waiting for an answer, he placed one hand on the instrument rather heavily. Sure enough, there was an ominous crunching noise from somewhere deep inside. 'Another harpsichord,' came the sad reply. Then there was the time when an interviewee brought along his two prize pets - a mouse and an eagle. Huw launched into a long dissertation about how interesting it was that in the wild the one was the mortal enemy of the other, yet there they both were, getting on like a house on fire. At that moment, almost inevitably, the eagle gobbled up the mouse! The classical guitarist John Williams made an early appearance on this show as did the King Brothers destined to become famous pop stars in the sixties. Huw Wheldon was not averse to a catchphrase, as with his concluding remark he always described next week's programme as: "Whatever else it will be, it will be well and truly.....all your own"..

Aquamarine Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 The discussion of that pic was fairly recent, and I have a vague memory that someone identified it as Noel Redding. Apologies if I'm misremembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glicine Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 In my opinion the photograph is not Jimmy, who got his first guitar at the age of twelve or thirteen if you believe the internet, fourteen if you believe Jimmy. Another rather interesting thing is, when Jimmy and Jeff Beck were interviewed at the backstage of the RnR HOF induction ceremony, Jimmy said they've known each other since 13 or 14, and Jeff said "11", then Jimmy continued "11? Alright, 11 then, forever this". It really made me wonder, since I've always thought Jimmy got his guitar about 12/13 and they got to know each other through Jeff's sister because they both played guitar...so it seems unlikely that they've known each other since 11.

Thanks--must have been the guitar that made me think it was Noel Redding rather than Mitchell. Regarding Jimmy and Jeff and their early days--what was the story about Jeff first meeting Jimmy when he (Jimmy) was standing outside a shop holding a bag of tropical fish?

kaiser Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 That first picture is not Jimmy. I've seen it in the last 2-3 years in an issue of Mojo or Uncut for a book review. I believe that picture is part of a book documenting rock and roll & youth culture in post war 1950's England. I don't know the name of the book or the exact date it came out but I know that picture is in that book I'm referring too because I wanted to make a cover for a personal rockabilly CD I burnt with that picture as the front cover but for whatever reason I didn't get around to doing it. Still a great pic whoever the little fella is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Now this is a story I've never heard of! Just to prove I'm not totally mad, I finally found it! It was Chris Dreja, not Jeff Beck. "I'd first met Jimmy on Tolworth Broadway, outside a pet shop, holding a bag of exotic fish." Uncut, Jan. 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I found this pic in a online photo album featuring Jimmy. It was not labeled as to when or who is the other chap in the photo. Maybe someone could shed some light on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've got the wrong member of the band twice in this thread, so I'm not going to risk it a third time, though I'm pretty sure it was somebody in one of Jimmy's early bands, and very sure that he's been identified somewhere in one of the Jimmy pics threads. Best I can do, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonzoLikeDrumer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Ok then, that's a resemblance I can see (Mitch Mitchell). I'm sure Mitch Mitchell (drummer for Jimi Hendrix) was blond, maybe he was not blond as a kid, don't know. This picture of Noel looks sort-a like the one at the start of this thread.
