Jimmy Page, born James Patrick Page on the 9th of January 1944.
Born in Heston, Middlesex, London England.
His father was an Industrial personnel manager and mother worked as a Doctor’s Secretary.
Jimmy Page first picked up a guitar when he was 12 years old, he took some lessons in Kingston but was mainly self taught.
Early influences of Jimmy’s were Scooty Moore and James Burton. One of his first guitars was a second hand 1959 Futurama Grazioso.
Jimmy later on was also influenced by acoustic folk playing of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, and the blues sounds of Elmore James and B.B. King.
At 14, Jimmy played Huw Wheldon’s All Your Own talent quest programme in a skiffle band, which was popular English music at the time.
Page left School at 14 to pursue music, he then joined a band called The Crusaders. Page toured with The Crusaders for almost 2 years and later played on several records of the singer Neil Christian, including the November 1962 Single "The Road to Love".
During his stint with Christian, Page fell seriously ill with glandular fever and had to stop touring.
While recovering, Page decided to put his musical career on hold and concentrate on his other love, painting. He enrolled at Sutton Art College in Surrey.
At college Page would often jam on stage at the marquee with band such as Alexis Korner’s Blues Inc and with guitarist Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck.
One night he was spotted by John Gibb of The Silhouettes, who asked him to help record some singles for EMI, including "The Worrying Kid".
Page then got an offer from Mike Leander of Decca Records which gave him regular studio work as a session guitarist.
On his first session for the label was the recording "Diamonds" by Jet Harris & Tony Meehan which went to Number 1 on the singles chart in early 1963.
After brief stints with Carter-Lewis & The Southerners, Mike Hurst’s group, and Mickey Finn and the Blue Men. Page committed himself to full-time session work. As a session guitarist he was known as ’Little Jim’ so there was no confusion with Big Jim Sullivan i.e. ’Big Jim’. Page was the favoured session guitarist of producer Shel Talmy, and therefore he ended up doing session work on songs for The Who and The Kinks as a direct result of the Talmy connection.
In 1964 Page’s studio output included Marianne Faithfull’s "As Tears Go By" ,The Nashville Teens " Tobacco Road", The Rolling Stones "Heart of Stone", Van Morrison’s "Baby Please Don’t Go" and "Here Comes the Night", Dave Berry’s "The Crying" and "My Baby Left Me" and Breand Lee’s "Is It True".
Under the auspices of producer Talmy, Page contributed to The Kinks 1964 debut album (although, despite rumours to the contrary, he did not play any of the guitar solos); and he sat in on the sessions for The Who’s first single "I Can’t Explain", and played on the B-side "Bald Headed Woman".
In 1965, Page was hired by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Olham to act as house producer and A&R man for the new lable Immediate Records, which also allowed him to play on and/or produce tracks by John Mayall, Nico, Chirs Farlowe and Eric Clapton. Page also formed a brief songwriting partnership with then romantic interest, Jackie DeShannon. He worked as session musician on the Al Stewart album Love Chronicles in 1969. He also played guitar on five tracks of Joe Cocker’s debut album, With a Little Help from My Friends.
Christopher Lee at 87, demonstrates that metal has no age or boundaries. It's for everyone.

funny how the word recession
is on the lips of everyone
and yet
how much profit
did the stores and corporations make
in the last few weeks?
because humans feel buying presents is how to show love?
funny how the way we celebrate
is actually hurting humans, animals and our planet...
