    HELP! says Rob

    "I am looking for pics taken of me with Led Zeppelin (playing as The New Yardbirds) at the Hunt Armory, Pittsburgh PA January 1969. Please contact me if you have any knowledge of these photos! My grandmother had just died and my parents made me get my hair cut off, so I looked like a pretty nerdy 16-year-old in the pics, with black frame glasses. Photos were taken of us together by several fans, as well as a freelance photographer covering the concert for the Pittsburgh Press and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspapers.
    Thanks!" - Rob



    THINK YOU'RE MUSICALLY TALENTED?


              Want to test your musical coordination? Here's the old music-talent coordination test used by Carnegie-Mellon's School of Music (CMU),
              and I believe may have been originated at either its predecessor Carnegie Tech, or at Rochester (Kodak?) School of Music.
                1) use one foot to stomp quarter-notes in 4/4 time.
                2) use the other foot to stomp half-notes (either 1 & 3 or 2 & 4, your choice).
                3) use one hand to tap 8th-notes.
                4) the other hand does triplets, while maintaining the first three.
