Let’s rewind the video tape to 1957. A very young Jimmy Page appears on a BBC children’s talent show to play some skiffle.
Mixing
together strands of American blues, jazz, country and folk music, this
style of music became all the rage in the UK during the 1950s. Lonnie
Donegan got the craze going.
And it wasn’t long before John Lennon
formed his own skiffle band - The Quarry Men (photo here)
… later to become The Beatles.
Heading into the 60s, a maturing Jimmy
Page took his music in entirely new directions, which brings us to our
post last week: The Strange Tale of Dazed and Confused.
