Immigrant Song

Today is the day of “my” boy and there’s no other bullshit
The first album to choose would be madness

#40yearswithoutBonzo

A few years ago, a dear friend in the industry invited me to a party/event/night that I already hated... I was already quite tipsy and he introduced me to some young musicians. A couple of them were young drummers – they said they were amazing – who were practicing like crazy; one Italian from Milan and the other German. The Italian mainly played funky rock rap and the German jazz rock. They both told me that it doesn't matter what you play... if you’re a drummer, Bonham is an absolute benchmark... and all his story of being self-taught, his obsession with swing and jazz with his idols Krupa and the gang... and his love for funk and Motown...
I was wonderfully impressed, they knew more than I did... meanwhile, I was already completely fried...
