Just me fillin it up again! :P
you might recognize this one,

measuring a summer's day
only find it slips away, to gray
the hours they bring me pain,
thinking how it used to be,
does she still remember times, like these
to think of us again, and i do,
Angerine, Tangerine,
living reflection, from a dream
she was my love, oh! she was my queen,
but now a thousand years between,
measuring a summers day, only find it slips away...
baby baby,
I don't think i can take it any, very much longer
i got to leave you when the summer comes a crawling,
leave you in the summer time.
baby, baby, baby i don't want to leave you,
but i ain't jokin no more, i gotta ramble,
and as we wind on down this road,
our shadows taller than our soul.
there walks a lady we all know
who shines white light and wants to show,
how everything still turns to gold
but if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last...

I was worried that stairway part might be too cheesy - I still remember back to 7th grade when Stairway to Heaven would come on, signaling the end of the dance and the last chance of the night to ask the girl of your dreams, or her more attainable sidekick, to slow dance... I never knew what to do when the song got to the fast part at the end, start trying to disco dance like John Travolta in SNF? Or keep that exhilarating embrace and slow rocking dance going just a little longer...

then the song got WAY overplayed to the point where it wasn't even the same song any more, and for the past 25 years or so, I usually just change the station or hit skip on the CD whenever it comes on. Now gimme 'Battle of Evermore' any day, the song I had skipped the first 5 years!

Anyway glad you enjoyed it!

And YES it is cool gretavo has such a great place to hang out, inform, and learn from one another :)

Imitation acoustic caterwauling?

Robert Plant's a hard act to follow Tahooey.....

Tangerine's my favourite Zep track btw and I love your version (and Zep). Don't suppose you've got a slide guitar?!

Course, what you really need to compliment your strings mastery is what this guy's using.
