Happy Birthday Jimmy!

   He's one of the legendary rock guitarists of all time, and in my mind, the best ever. James Patrick Page is 71 years old today. A session musician in the early '60's, he joined one of the foremost groups in Britain at the time, the Yardbirds, after another legendary guitar player, Jeff Beck, quit.
   When the Yardbids folded in the late '60's, Page teamed up with John Paul Jones (a session bass player and multi-instrumentalist), a very young singer Robert Plant and legendary rock drummer John Bonham. Originally dubbed the New Yardbirds to fulfill contractual obligations, they became Led Zeppelin, and the rest is history.
   Happy Birthday Jimmy!
