I don't know. Does Muddy give credit to the people who influenced him? He didn't invent his music any more that Page did. All invention and art is derivative. That's why I never took lessons, and don't learn to read music or play scales. I want mine to be original, and that's also why I suck.
@bagoh20: I was alluding to the Willie Dixon lawsuit against LZ, but I was really just reacting to how Waters didn't get a screen caption like Link Wray did in this short clip. Perhaps it got edited out.
(I don't think Pollo meant Page so much as the documentary, which identified the first record Page listened to-- Link Wray's Rumble-- but not the second.)
The viol is tuned like a lute, which in turn is tuned like a guitar with the G string moved to F#.
If you play a lute, you can astound the household cellist when a viol moves into the house. You have to learn only bowing, where the cellist has to learn a whole new fingering not to mention the chords that come up.
You're about three years ahead of him from the start.
rh - thanks for posting that - that a lovely piece of music. I remember playing Byrd's keyboard works back when I was a student over 50 years ago. Mostly don't listen to music from that era now, but it is wonderful to hear.
Don Draper talked about nostalgia being the pain of an old wound - or something like that - but I think that had something to do with the Kodak Carousel projector and it's relatively late, and I'm ready for bed, and I don't feel like looking it up right now.
Beautiful, rh. I love Renaissance music (I share your love of Monteverdi, too), but I'm more familiar with French & Italian than British/ Elizabethan. Here's a vein for me to mine.
Zepplin does have a long running issue with crediting songs as they should have. I always loved their music, but that really spoils their bona fides for me. It takes away nothing to give credit when you love something enough to interpret it your own way.

I worked with guys on the Delta who sang field hollers that some ethnomusicologists claim can be traced back to songs sung in West Africa.
Muddy Waters needed to pay reparations.

Great clip; thanks.

Also, LZ was big ol' rich target. There was no money to get of Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott
Correct, Yashu. I recently watched the whole documentary.
Wm. Byrd consort songs.

I quite admire this William Byrd's lifestyle, too.

I saw Muddy Waters . . . at the Spectrum . . . in Philadelphia . . . probably in the late 1970s.
He opened for Eric Clapton.
Both were astonishingly boring.

That is all.
Don Draper on nostalgia.
You missed the best part - where he shows Edge how to play Kashmir.

Speaking of proper crediting, what's going on here?
Vivaldi's Gloria
@Ritmo: Kashmir? "That's one of those real hypnotic riffs."
Carousel is very ouroboros
Carousel is very ouroboros
And the Kashmir riff too.
Ouroboros surrounds us.
Oh, Man, I love that Page interview.
psst, hey Guys, let's go to Page's house. Wear brown.
@deborah - thanks for posting that - I had never heard it before.
I am reminded of what the wag said - Vivaldi didn't write 600 concertos, he wrote one concerto 600 times.
But that one has its moments, as do many of his works. He's no Bach, that's all I'm sayin'...
