HI ALL!! Well woke up this morning feeling bad, just " icky " all over. So I stayed close to my dish. Did sort some baseball cards and went through the last 3 or 4 days worth of mail. I watched the Kennedy Awards last night. Very entertaining. One of the inductees was Led Zeppelin. They did about a 15 minute tribute to the group, and the finale was Stair Way to Heaven performed by The Wilson sisters of Heart. And a very cool twist, on drums was Jason Bonham son of the original Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham who died in 1980. Jason had performed with the other 3 members of Zeppelin several years ago for a benefit concert in London's O2 arena. At that time there was major talk about the band going on tour. But it never materialized. So last night Jason comes out and gets behind the drums and then points up to the 3 members. Also, there were some back up singers, AND a choir. You could tell from watching the original band members that they were VERY impressed. It was a very cool tribute. Also from the music side was Buddy Guy, he was credited with taking music from the crop fields to major coliseums. And how true. The funnest tribute was for David Letterman. But by far the Led Zeppelin tribute struck the chord. Ann and Nancy Wilson have been influenced by Zeppelin since 1969. They have covered several other songs on a couple of different albums too. CHOW MOI
