Guitar Geezer Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 The first time that future Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham ever played together was as studio musicians, backing Donovan on his 1968 hit, "Hurdy Gurdy Man". A hurdy-gurdy is actually a stringed instrument in which the strings are rubbed by a rosined wheel instead of a bow. source Lynn G Lynn G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I knew that JP and JPJ had both played some sessions together, but I'm pretty sure that Robert Plant introduced JP to John Bonham. I think that Plant and Bonzo had played together in a band. Jimmy Page first wanted the singer from another established band, who's manager got wind of it and sent him a telegram asking Jimmy, "How'd you boys like a band with NO FINGERS?" !! Jimmy hastily reconsidered... !

demarc Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Wow, that is very interesting! That put Donovan in a new light for me. Not that he wasn't cool to start with, with tunes like Seasons of the Witch and Atlantis back in those days.

Björn Fröberg Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I've heard something about David Hasselhoff selling more records than Elvis in Germany.. Don't know if it's true, but the Germans do buy everything that goes from Finland over there, even if it sucks, so it could be possible. - Bob Freebird A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
