9 December Birthdays
Joan Baez and Jimmy Page, two greats at the opposite ends of the music spectrum.

I think you are a month off for Jimmy, 9 January 1944.
Also not sure how opposite they are, Zep recorded Babe I’m Gonna Leave You after being influenced by the Joan Baez version.

So, where do Louis Armstrong and J.S. Bach sit in the spectrum?

Interesting, i was jsut watching this video about Canting that had Livin Luvin Maid (She's just a woman) in the background.

They're both off the spectrum, looking it over, and trying to figure out how to jump in between Joan Baez and Jimmy Page.

I was totally expecting an interval pun.

Joan Beaz, Loise Armstrong, Led Zep, Bach; sounds like part my ski tunes playlist.

Interesting new book on Led Zepplin. Heard the author on radio. Page was a very in demand sessions guitarist, working 6 days/week. There was a dearth of people for the new music. He made more money than both his parents combined. He turned down theYardbirds the first time due to that and he was friends with Clapton. I think the second time he still said no and recommended Jeff Beck.

If opposite ends are on a circle there 360 degrees that could be north-south or east-west of any of the 360 points on the circle.

So Joan Baez and Jimmy Page are right next to each other.

I stand corrected, I guess I had a senior moment. Thanks for the heads up. As far as the opposite ends of the spectrum, I can't think of anything JB has done that hasn't been acoustic. Yes I know that JP has done some acoustic but it is not what you normally think of when you hear the name JP or LZ.

I think you missed my point, is north right next to south or on the opposite ends?

I watched the video on my phone and it was a good video but my phone was barely picking up the music in the background so I couldn't tell what was playing. Thanks for sharing the cuff alignment and canting information video.

I did miss your point. It makes no sense to me now that I understand it.

Okay, maybe I can come up with a different analogy sometime.

Have often mussed on what a Mozart, Bach, or Beethoven would have been writing and playing had they had today's interments. Is Andrew Lloyd Weber a good example, or Pink Floyd?

More like Wynton Marsalis.

Sorry For the derailment, I’m just a bit of a Jimmy Page triviologist.
I’ll just leave this here before this thread gets back on track…

If those two are the only choice I would have to pick Weber.
