I remember a Led Zep tune with mandolin in it so my guess is:Who is Jimmy Page?

He (my all time favorite guitar player) wrote the riff for Claptons "Layla"

Quote:He (my all time favorite guitar player) wrote the riff for Claptons "Layla"Hmmmm, that's a good one! I always thought that Clapton wrote the song (and riff), and Jim Gordon wrote the piano tag.So if Clapton didn't write the riff:Who is Duane Allman?Ern

Quote:Who is Duane Allman?Ern Correct, ern. As I heard the story,Clapton had all the musicians meet at the studio on a Monday and showed everyone the song they were there to record that week. Duane walked in the next morning and showed Clapton a riff he wrote last night in his hotel room and offered to let him use it. Clapton loved it.

O.K. --- no more guesses?John Paul Jones is a fabulous mandolin player (and musician in general). If you haven't seen any of the Led Zep DVD that came out a few years ago, BUY IT! It is truly astonishing.Ern
