I was called by an old friend, Robert Plant.  He asked if I would be interested in joining Zep.  I immediately said, "You know Robert, this band is all about you and Jimmy. I want to be in a band that's all about me".  The thought of working with Robert again made me queasy.  And having to perform as a sideman ain't gonna cut it.

 

I have been around the concert scene for many years.   In the past with The Riders of the Purple Sage and most recently with Deep Purple.  But now I am looking forward to playing with The Purple Pork Pies. (I have a thing for purple).

 

I would like to say thank you to all the PPP fans for welcoming me into the band.
