Very Thoughtful, and bear in mind Page was the most prolific sessions guitarist
in England in the 60's. (a VERY busy time for such things)
And Thanks, Alan, 'cause if I had won the award for coolest
thing done during Live Aid I couldn't have repeated it. I did THAT while
whatching the Pope address the crowd at the Vatican during easter that year.
It was really sick what I did, but a WHOLE lot of fun ...
