What can one say about Jimmy Page, that has not be said more eloquently by another. I have the answer. There are so many great solos by Page that one is hard pressed to pick one to post. Therefore, I will post the one best known to the casual listener. Young Jimmy...Mystical Jimmy...Vintage Jimmy. Jimmy works his voodoo that hedo on the double necked Hammer of the Gods. O, and as for the answer to that question? It comes from a man I've known most of my life. I will not reveal his Christian name here, but he is well known in the blogosphere as Antony. This quote was left for me as a voice mail this very day. When speaking of the man's virtuosity, he said

"He takes the instrument out a whole new asshole!"

I have a firm belief that some day Antony will be an author of some note. If I am ever asked to pen the forward to one of his pieces, I will work in this quote, even if it's for a book on Christendom in the medieval world.
