That's certainly the first time I've heard any reference to Harvey playing
on the song - he didn't come to prominence with Gryphon for another two
years. Doubt if it was the only time Zeppelin didn't credit session
musicians - bit like their writing credits.  :-)

Re the Zeppelin questions, I stand corrected...numerous times, 
apparently!  
Re new 'tron exteriors....Martin--how about a "plaid" and a "paisley" 
tron?  Or perhaps Waterford Crystal?...that would be fun to cart around!

Dubiously,
Brad

Well, if it IS JPJ, he is truly a multi-talented
musician...it's not that easy to play this instrument
in tune for those long tones like Stairway. His
intonation is pretty spot on.
