There's a whole lotta Mefiers interested in the upcoming
Led Zeppelin reunion, and it got me to thinking, let's pay a little visit to the Poet Laureate of the blues,
Mr. Willie Dixon. After all, without him, there wouldn't have been a
Whole Lotta Love, or a
Bring It On Home, or... hell, there might not have been any Zep
at all... His music has been
interpreted and
reinterpreted by an
astonishing number of
musicians. The man wrote a
whole lotta songs. Oh, and, he played a little bit of
bass, too. He was a whole lotta
great.

When I first saw
it, my jaw hit the floor. After years of thinking I would suffer alone with the memory, I found others who
knew. Along the way, I discovered other
gems... even though my personal tastes were more
epic. When she asked why I loved
them so much, I replied, "Because they are so
ambitious. They try so
hard".
