    I was taught to play bass by Jet Harris. I got to play on stage with him a few times, too. He would roll the volume on his bass down for sound check, so he could turn it back up during his set when he wanted a bit more volume. We did a bass duel during a performance of Nivram once and he absolutely destroyed me.

    Nicknamed "Jet" because he was an ace sprinter at school (100 yards in 10 seconds). Later lost any athletic capability through chain-smoking, an addiction he was never able to get under control, and which eventually killed him.
    The piece he's playing from 0:19 to 0:28 is called The Man From Nowhere, in a clip from the film Just For Fun (in which he also partnered Tony Meehan, singing Doin' The Hully Gully).

    Jet Harris and Tony Meacham had a #1 hit with a song called 'Diamonds' in January 1963. It was recorded in November 1962, it had an 18yr. old guitarist named Jimmy Page playing acoustic rhythm guitar on it. It was Page's first introduction into the world of British Session Music which he excelled in, and a few years down the road after getting much better he made a name for himself first with the Yardbirds and later with a little band called Led Zeppelin....🎸

      @@rockerjim8045 I like all of Led Zeppelin A - to - Z, but I still believe in their debut album Led Zeppelin recorded in 30hrs. in early October 1968(Oct. 1 & 2 I think?) Released in the U.S. on 01/12/69 & in the U.K. on 03/17/69. This first album set the stage for what they became. Led Zeppelin II was a 'monster', Led Zeppelin IV was their 'masterpiece' and Physical Graffiti was their 'opus'. But that first album when I heard that day it came out, I was 15, had already seen Page with the Yardbirds twice, first time with Beck still in the band September '66 & October 67 just with Page, Relf, Dreja and McCarty. That show was the first time I heard 'Dazed and Confused', same music but different lyrics. When I heard it again on the first album I just melted into that song, it had morphed into a sonic odyssey. That whole album was a game changer for music itself and how music was recorded and package and with Peter Grant he helped changed how artist were paid for their music and put the promoters in their place to not rip - off artist. Led Zeppelin, changed everything with that first album. 🎸🎤🎸🥁

      At 18 years old, the drummer Tony Meehan (not Meacham) was already an old hand. When he played on the Shadows' first No. 1 hit, Apache, he was just 15. Back then, the school leaving age in the UK was 14, and I'm not sure the successive increases have really benefited the nation.

Obviously my Mum was a huge fan of Cliff so that’s why we were there. Must repay her at some point, time for her to appreciate something more aggressive…

    Man With the Golden Arm. 1955 movie starring Frank Sinatra. His character was an ace (pun intended) card dealer (hence the Golden Arm) who also happened to have an "H" problem, if you know what I mean. The movie explored that. His character's name was Frankie Machine, which would be a great name for a punk band. Pretty edgy for 1955. Fantastic jazz/big band soundtrack.

    Jet had the coolest hair and image in the Shadows (sadly the hair went with time). I met him and Bruce Welch in a pub tribute night to Joe Meek. Ironically, when it came to Jet and Tony, he didn't play on all of his biggest hits - due to being too screwed up and ill at the time. Jet gave the name Shadows to the group (formerly The Drifters). The early Shadows instrumentals are terrific. Like Cliff, they started off as cool rockers, but acquired a bit more of a Muzak image in their later careers
