The gentleman covering Led Zep's 'Whole Lotta Love' in the clip below is Sam Edelston from Connecticut and he certainly knows his way around a Mountain Dulcimer. Once the vocal melody line kicks in, his virtuoso status certainly shines through.
Last week we learned Led Zeppelin is the target of a lawsuit claiming that they stole 'Stairway to Heaven' from a song by the band Spirit. Spirit's bassist Mark Andes says the beginning of 'Stairway to Heaven' is very similar to the beginning of 'Taurus'. You be the judge.
There are a lot of frustrated drummers among us. You know them, you work with them. They pick up any object that's handy, and before you know it, they're tapping away on the desk with their pencil, or banging away with an empty water bottle. Aaron Lapierre is in the latter category. He's forever using empty bottles as drumsticks and bashing out drum solos.
