[FairfieldLife] Stairway to Heaven

[jr_...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Led Zeppelin probably didn't steal that song from another rock band because 
David Plant testified he doesn't know how to read or write music  If you listen 
to the clip, the song was sung in a minor pentatonic scale.  
 Also, he stated he doesn't remember much of the 1960s.  So, there you have it. 
 There is no evidence for the plaintiff.
 

 

 Robert Plant testifies he can’t read music or remember the ’60s. Verdict: 
Still a rock star.

 Why the "Stairway to Heaven" trial feels like a Rock Hall of Fame induction.

So much so that Led Zeppelin were pretty much off my radar.
I'd done the hippie music thang earlier, and by the time they
showed up, I'd "moved on," to the more "spiritual" world
represented by Maharishi.

I can honestly state that I have never listened to a single Led
Zeppelin album all the way through. My loss. In more recent
years, I've heard things by them, and by cover artists doing
their work, that make me believe that I might have missed
something. But, as Vonnegut said, "So it goes."

That said, I *did* hear a number of their songs on the radio,
or in the background of parties that I attended, even though
as a TM Teacher I was far too evolved for them. :-)

So I thought this tribute to them was pretty cool. All old men
should be honored for their accomplishments like this. At
least once.

But only once.

For example, it's way cool that Obama was there. But ya have
to weigh that against all the times when he wasn't "there."

"Stairway to Heaven," played by the Smule Team
iPhone Ocarina quintet plus guitar:

>From the NY Times's "Circuits" email newsletter
by David Pogue:

It's one of the most magical programs I've ever seen for
the iPhone, and probably for any computer. It's Ocarina,
named after the ancient clay wind instrument.

Once you install and open this program, your iPhone's screen
displays four colored circles of different sizes. These are
the "holes" that you cover with your fingers, as you would
the holes on a flute. Then you blow into the microphone
hole at the bottom of the iPhone, and presto: the haunting,
expressive, beautiful sound of a wind instrument comes from
the iPhone speaker.

Different combinations of fingers on those four "holes"
produce the different notes of the scale. (You can change
the key in Preferences--no doubt a first on a cellphone.)
Tilting the phone up or down controls the vibrato.

Ocarina has become a mega-hit. YouTube videos show people
playing their favorite songs on this thing with amazing
skill. (The "Stairway to Heaven" arrangement, featuring
four people playing their iPhones in harmony, is especially
memorable.) The software company's Web site, Smule.com,
even includes sheet-music pages that show you how to play
well-known songs on Ocarina.

Ocarina takes advantages of the iPhone's microphone,
speaker, touch screen, graphics and tilt sensor.
Incredibly, though, it also exploits the iPhone's Internet
connection and GPS, as well.

If you tap the little globe at the bottom of the screen, the
screen changes. Now you see a map of the world--and you
start hearing the Ocarina performance of one person, in one
city (indicated by animated sound waves on the map), who's
playing the thing *right now*. Sometimes it's the halting
fumbles of a rank beginner; sometimes it's a lovely melody
played by someone who's got the hang of it. You can hit a
Next button to tune in to another stranger, and another,
all around the world.

It's a brain-frying experience to know that you're listening
to someone else playing Ocarina, right now, in real time,
somewhere else on the planet. (And then you realize that
someone, somewhere might be listening to *you*!)
