             Strange,but I always thought Jimmy Page made that bowing sound
         famous on Zeppelin's first two albums.You know it's funny,but critics
         hated that part of Page's act,denouncing it as bombast and accusing
         Page of overplaying his part as the wizard.Christ if they hated him
         bowing his two E strings,just imagine how they must feel about bowing
         all six.

                                 Just another timely contribution to
                                       net.KateBush,
