Sorry, but "skiffle" was an abomination.

[FORD]

Yeah, but that's how the Beatles also started. So at least something good came out of it eventually.

[Kristy]

Yeah, like how they stopped playing that shit once they discovered Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Richie Valens, and Bill Haley (with or without his Comets).

[FORD]

I'm not even paying attention to the song. I can't stop looking at Jimmy Page - how old was he in this performance, 12, 13? He's so...so wholesome-looking.

Jimmy Page was born in 1944, so he would have been 13 in this performance. And looks like he walked right off the set of Leave It to Beaver. :biggrin:

[Kristy]

er, nevermind

Interesting... listening to that skiffle clip I can hear a bit of that in Hot Dog from In Through the Out Door album.
