Boys in the Band
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/14-03-07-Boys_in_the_Band.jpg>
In the early days, the members of Led Zeppelin didn't have posh limousine
services to ferry them to their concerts. Mrs. Edith Prawnly of
Hummock-on-Smythe in southwestern most Lincolnshire clearly remembers seeing
them bicycle through town wi th their instruments in tow en route to Ringo's
tiny basement flat, where they would rehearse for up to an hour a day.
Occasionally, guest artists sat in with the band. Andy Warhol, Claes
Oldenburg and Jasper Johns once showed up with their guitars, but when they
saw the dingy condition of the flat, they hauled out their brushes and
tempera and instead repainted the place. Another time, Ozzy convinced the
St. Swithins Girls School Chorus to sing back-up harmony on one of his
songs. The girls had no transportation of their own so Ozzy did the honors
him self - six each on either side of the handlebars, four more in the
rumbleseat and, balanced precariously on his shoulders, the prim head
mistress, Miss Engle. When the lads were pressed for time, they took a
shortcut to Ringo's flat - a jolting ride down a steep flight of stairs that
led past Heavelly's Fish Market. The route was eventually immortalized in
their hit song, Stairway to Heavelly, or would have been if the typesetter
hadn't misspelled the last word.
