Happy Birthday James Patrick Page...

from wikipedia: James Patrick "Jimmy" Page OBE, (born January 9, 1944 in Heston, Middlesex, England) is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential guitarists in rock and roll. He was a founding member of Led Zeppelin and, prior to that, a member of The Yardbirds from late 1966 through 1968. Before these two groups however, Page had been one of the most in-demand studio guitarists in England since a teenager.

One of my "idols" since childhood, Jimmy Page's fiery guitar work and the sense of awe and mystery he cloaked himself in placed him as one of the most influential figures in my life. Not only did Page open up the world of music to me, but he helped to inspire my study of Aleister Crowley and ceremonial magick.

Happy 66th Birthday, Jimmy Page... thanks for the inspiration and the awesome catalogue of music you've given us.

Rock on...
