Jimmy on modern Yardbirds

[Jeremy Mixer <mixer@xxxxxxxx>]

"Well is wasn't invited. I feel a bit like John Paul Jones now. But I'm
really pleased that they've done a good record. It's great that Jeff's on
it 'cause that's great. You know he's marvelous, an amazing player. I've
heard them play live and they definitely play with the spirit of The
Yardbirds. And that's the essence of it. It's got to be done with the
right spirit and they've got it."
Chris Dreja:
"Jimmy Page rang me up on the mobile after the show he'd seen and said,
'Oh it's great. You're keeping the legend very much alive.' Which was very
nice of him actually."
I thought, if nothing else, you'd get a kick out of that Jimmy quote!
