Led Zeppelin

Podcast interview with Dean Delray
Let There Be Talk, Part 1 of 2, Episode #501

DD: Are you a Zeppelin guy?

JM: Good question. I happen not to be a Zeppelin guy. It never caught me.

DD: It still could though.

JM: It still very much could. Um, the vocabulary isn't my vocabulary. Jimmy Page playing a, basically, you know, a Gibson—whether it's an SG or Les Paul—that's a different sound for me. I’m a Strat guy. Everyone I love comes from the Strat sound. I also am a melody geek. Now there's certain—like I think "Going To California", is that what it’s called?

Just by a little bit.
