Feb. 6, 2013 Dear Dave, A long-time Zephead but brand-new to Twitter, I'd hugely appreciate the benefit of your brains & judgment before I Tweet about one of my favorite underappreciated Zep tunes, "Boogie With Stu". Does Wikipedia have it right when it says that the group never played this song live - that it was a jam between the band & Ian Stewart (the titular "Stu") at Headley Grange; basically a one-off recording done much earlier that didn't make it onto previous albums & so the band stuck it onto what became the ne plus ultra double-album Physical Graffiti? Also would you say it's fair to say that Ian Stewart is channeling Little Richard as he's banging away on the piano? Last, of the handful of people/sources who have posted You Tube videos (or more accurately, audios - just the tune itself - because I'm really not interested in promoting somebody's animated baby or rutabaga dancing to this great boogie), is there anyone whom you think highly of? Compression, precision & giving-credit-where-it's-due mattering a great deal to me, I'd also like to raise awareness of you as the world's foremost Led Zeppelinologist by embedding a "bitly" shortcut in my Tweet. Would you rather that I send people to your most excellent Tight But Loose website (I've already created the shortcut:http://*** or to Amazon, where they can take a squint at one of your books, also already short-cutted http://*** ? For a bit more about me, or at least a snapshot anyway, here I am on Twitter:http://*** ... Thank you very much for your consideration of my rather sturdy "ask"! Hopefully I don't disqualify myself altogether by revealing I'm a Blackpool fan?! Sincerely, Mike Healey (not Headley) Barrington, RI 02806 USA
