The cold moonshine waterhole (Pirtulampi) on the Vanuvuori-mountain

A deep, a cold and an old.
En djup, en förkylning och en gammal (och en mörkka).
Dom har gjort rent alkohol där.
Folk traditionen säger att den Jäkels pojke bodde på berget - men flyttade bort därfrån.

Distorted electric guitar

The Kinks are refuting a new BBC Radio 2 documentary that once again alleges the long-debunked myth that Jimmy Page played on their 1964 hit, You Really Got Me.
He has never say that he didn’t play on the track You Really Got Me.
Yes, he played just on that track, among other things.

We know  that Jimmy Page played lead guitar on The Who's Bald Headed Woman.
It explained how Jimmy Page ended up on lead for The Who´s Bald Headed Woman. Those the fuzz-pedal sounds, which droning throughout is played by Page.
The reason being, he owned the only fuzz box in the United Kingdom at that time.
Perhaps the first sucht this kind of Fuzz used by Jimmy Hendrix in America.
(today I have a similar one)

They did it in Iceland

I think ‘Immigrant Song’ was great. Having been to Iceland, where we wrote it, I could understand exactly how it caught me musically and the agitation of the music too. It was smooth, cool.
At radio station Q107 in 2010, Robert Plant shared the reason why this song The Immigrant Song (1970) meant so much to him.
We weren’t being pompous … We did come from the land of the ice and snow. We were guests of the Icelandic Government on a cultural mission. We were invited to play a concert in Reykjavik and the day before we arrived all the civil servants went on strike and the gig was going to be cancelled. The university prepared a concert hall for us and it was phenomenal.
Plant in Chris Welch's book his 1994 book Led Zeppelin, reflecting on the now iconic trip to Iceland.
The response from the kids was remarkable and we had a great time. ‘Immigrant Song’ was about that trip and it was the opening track on the album that was intended to be incredibly different.
I also like to play and sing this piece.
But why are there two completely different versions of it?
That the another version of The Song find from the remastered Zeb's III album.

för Dharma

en högtid - mycket mer 
Vesak Dagen infaller på fullmånedagen under den femte månaden enligt månkalendern. Detta menar att där pyntas med lampor som symboliserar att Buddha förde ljus till världen.

Där finns tre händelser under månaden i tibetansk buddhism med  Vesakhaanses av theravadatraditionen. Vesak är en buddhistisk högtid som firas till minne av Buddhas födelse, uppvaknande och parinirvana.
I högtiden är det Buddhas uppvaknande som har den viktigaste betydelsen, eftersom det är då som buddhismen börjar.

Vid sitt uppvaknande var Buddha 35 år och han spenderade sina återstående 45 år i livet med att vandra omkring på norra Indiens slätter och undervisa om sin lära, som han kallade Dharma
Det är en slags motsats till karma, ljusets väg.







Den här dagen är helig på t sätt.

a seamless collaboration considering

We know that Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis were making plans to record together in 1969.  Legend has it that Hendrix and Davis were hoping that Paul McCartney would join them on bass. And more: Jimi Hendrix wanted to form supergroup w/ Paul McCartney.
Jimi drew his own conclusion, it could be it could be "a seamless collaboration considering"

According to Far Out Magazine when Jimi Hendrix arrived on the scene in London he blew everybody away and really did change rock and roll almost overnight. His psychedelic musings may have even influenced Paul McCartney during the making of his masterpiece Sgt. Pepper. It would be under the influence of The Beatles that Hendrix would get his shot at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. It’s fair to say that Hendrix was influenced by The Beatles too.

In 1969 Davis and Hendrix sent an impromptu telegram to Paul McCartney with the hope they might convince him to join their new supergroup. A telegram was sent to Apple Records on Oct. 21, 1969.
The note read
We are recording and LP together this weekend in NewYork. How about coming in to play bass stop call Alvan Douglas.
Peace Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis Tony Williams.
Unfortunately, the recording would never take place as Rolling Stone reports no one knows, what has happened.
It’s still unclear if McCartney was aware of the request. Beatles aide Peter Brown responded the next day, telling Hendrix and Davis that McCartney was out on vacation and wasn’t expected back for two weeks.
Unrealized history is interesting.
But official history is not interested in it.
