..and as we wind on down the road

Today, while waiting on hold at the temp job, I was treated to "Stairway to Heaven" from the end of the guitar solo through the end of the song. I decided not to hold after Robert Plant sings the final "..and she buying...a Stairway..to..Heav-uuuun" and promptly hung up the phone.

When I was a teenager it was so cool to able to learn "Stairway" on the guitar. And, yes, like the "Wayne's World" movie every guitar player who knew the song would try it out on both acoustic and electric guitars.

I once played a sped up, ska-funk version while my friend who hated Zeppelin banged the rhythm along on the bongos.
