wonderboy, I've always found the "shy boy" comment puzzling - I've never heard Jimmy Page described that way, and there is nothing about him that suggests that he is or was. It's meant ironically, but not sure where it comes from, because I also have not heard that he's particularly bombastic. But, yes, Keith was a shy boy. Or at least introverted and without the soc

Marlon's response, iirc, was to the effect it must have been some hanger-on. Every time I see this thread pop up I think "oooh, maybe the mystery's been solved!"

It's complex and full of people, stories, shifting sands, wonderful music across an array of genre
