Why do you perform the song Thank You all over Led Zeppelin songs?
What does that mean to you?
It was just, to me it was kind of almost uncharacteristic of other stuff off that album.
It sounds like a 60s pop song to me, the way that they have it arranged.
And it's almost like that
would have been, with any other band, would have been their biggest hit.
But because it was Led
Zeppelin and the album was so unbelievable, and it's their first album, he almost kind of passed
over [D] it.
I know, and it's a great song for you to choose to do when you decide to do another
artist.
Would you do a little of that for us?
Sure.
All right, here it is.
