Bron-yr-aur . . .

. . . as explained by Robert Plant:
"This is a thing called 'Bron-Yr-Aur'. This is a name of the little cottage in the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales, and 'Bron-Yr-Aur' is the Welsh equivalent of the phrase 'Golden Breast'. This is so because of its position every morning as the sun rises and it's a really remarkable place. And so after staying there for a while and deciding it was time to leave for various reasons, we couldn't really just leave it and forget about it. You've probably all been to a place like that, only we can tell you about it and you can't tell us."
What I wouldn't give to have been at this show . . .
. . . in LA, Labor Day Weekend, 1970.
Two memories of Jimi, one of Robert: the Ronnie Lane Benefit tour in '82 at the Forum in Los Angeles, where Jimi played a solo set (as did Beck and Clapton), and the Page - Plant tour of '95, also at the Forum. Never saw Zeppelin; one of the great regrets of my life.
Thanks for the kind words, Tim. And, for being a member of this community; it wouldn't be the same without folks like you.
