Cecil. Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They could have quite easily crowdsourced the On This Day entries from members of the forum. Well to be fair....my entry would read 19th September 1976 Led Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin 3, been a fan for years and here's a picture of a kitten to prove it. The site does have to appeal to a wide range of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie0024 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Today's post: March 23rd 2013. Here’s one for the guitarists out there. With the incredible Thumbs Carlisle, aka Kenneth Carlille, paying a playing tribute to Country/Swing guitarists that helped drive the instrument into Country in the 50s.

woz70 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 This is all getting a little tenuous. Ok, so it's got guitars in it... but there's no other link to Jimmy or even this particular day in musical history. Unimpressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 On This Day has become a vehicle for whatever Peter Makowksi finds on the internet and thinks is cool. Precisely! That site began as an over-hyped vanity project for Jimmy and is now nothing more than an occasional curiousity for Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie0024 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Precisely! That site began as an over-hyped vanity project for Jimmy and is now nothing more than an occasional curiousity for Peter. I think we're up to 3/4 posts by Peter now. They're getting boring really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think we're up to 3/4 posts by Peter now. They're getting boring really quickly. I'll give him credit for trying. I just wish they'd all realize while it doesn't take much to satiate the masses, it's going to take more. They could have easily done a behind the scenes clip of the John Varvatos filming, for example. IMHO artist's official websites are supposed to provide content and features on the artist you can't find elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I agree about them being boring very quickly. Only Jimmy can make them be interesting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvlz2 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I love today's OTD video, that is an over-the-top performance of "Walking into Clarksdale" I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Back to the repeats - and the incorrect info. They really should have corrected the "we played in Paris in 1980" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenog Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Very touching that Jimmy chose to remember Ronnie Lane's birthday, as he has done previously On This Day. RIP Ronnie. Photograph: copyright Mark Bowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbowmanimages Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 'Ain't it the truth, Kenog.... RIP Ronnie.. Miss him greatly and Jimmy Page was a TRUE friend of Ronnie Lane.... Got the "Pic Of The Week" and wrote a little piece in UltimateClassicRock.com today in honor of Ronnie.... This is a shot Jimmy picked & published for the Genesis bio..... It's been on OTD before... http://ultimateclassicrock.com/ronnie-lane-jimmy-page-pic-of-the-week/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenog Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Mark, Really pleased to see that your photo was chosen - very appropriate. Ronnie Lane was a huge loss for so many reasons. For me, he combined original musical talent with a very sharp sense of humour. So sad abut his final years. 'Ain't it the truth, Kenog.... RIP Ronnie..

Cookie0024 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 12/04/13 I first heard Gallows Pole on a 1962 Folkways ‘Smithsonian’ LP by Fred Gerlach who was, I believe, the first white guy to play the twelve-string guitar in this Leadbelly style. I was so inspired by his version that I used it as a basis, completely changing the arrangement, for the Led Zeppelin Gallows Pole. However his twelve-string playing is superb. Fred comments "this is based on one of Leadbelly’s song, which itself has a long history dating back hundreds of years in England. The rhythms and finger picking styles have taken four years to evolve." Fred apparently ‘ran around’ with Tiny Leadbetter, Leadbelly’s niece, who turned him onto the twelve-string guitar.
