Weekend Happenings Music


Belated happy birthday to one of rock's greatest guitarists, Jimmy Page, who turned 76 yesterday. Page, a member of The Yardbirds and founder of Led Zeppelin, did a lot of session work in his early career, playing for the likes of The Who, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison and ... Brenda Lee(!).  Today's song is from his Yardbirds days and features a groundbreaking double lead guitar by Page and fellow guitar icon Jeff Beck.  It's from 1966 and is considered one of the great "lost singles" of that era: "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago."  Hope you enjoy.
