Thanks for the link, Funkster.

JPJ is one of the people who influenced me early on. Any wonder that he doesn't need to keep rehashing old Zeppelin tunes to keep working?
The guy is amazing.

One of the things I like best about JPJ (other than his playing) is his graceful aging. Once at the top of the image-driven heavy rock world, and now, past age 50, he's still very cool, very cutting-edge. Shows that an older guy can still kick ass and that a bit age doesn't have to be a negative thing.

Nothing is more depressing than seeing your heros turn into cartoon images of their own glory days because they can't "move on", so to speak. For a guy like me, who's about to turn 40 and doesn't want to sit down and rest musically, this is important. It's great to have role models like JPJ, even at an older age.

You ain't kiddin Mike My thoughts exactly! I'm close to 40 and have no plans on slowing down either! I Play in three bands and sub for a 4th.
JPJ is a perfect example of a class act musician who, like fine wine gets better with age!!!
