Born in Heston, Middlesex, England back in 1944, the legendary guitarist and producer Jimmy Page started his career when he was still a teenager and not much after he became one of the most respected session guitarists in England. His talent and knowledge made him first achieve success as a member of The Yardbirds and then, of course, as one of the founding members of Led Zeppelin. But the most incredible thing is that a kind of "divine intervention" made Page have his first guitar, which would be crucial for him to learn how to play. He recalled that in an interview with  Rolling Stone back in 2012. The incredible story of the first guitar Jimmy Page ever had Jimmy Page wasn't from a rich family, his father was a personnel manager at a plastic-coatings plant and his mother a doctor's secretary. So there were many things his family couldn't afford when he was younger, like going to see Buddy Holly playing live, as he recalled many times. But the interesting thing that he even said it was like a "divine intervention", was that the first guitar he ever had, which was a Spanish guitar, was simply left at a house his family moved to when he was a kid. "Getting a guitar was like dreaming about a Cadillac. It was something you would see on albums by Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and Buddy Holly. Buddy Holly came over here (in 1958). I couldn’t afford to see him, I would have learned so much, in one evening. I did see Jerry Lee Lewis. That was tribal. He wasn’t a guitarist — he was a pianist. But it was what he represented." He continued: "I investigated biochemistry (That's what my parents wanted for me). But I had a voracious appetite for all things guitar. When we moved to Epsom, there was one in the house. It was like divine intervention. There weren’t that many guitarists in the area, but there was one guy at school who said, 'Bring it along. I’ll tune it up and show you some chords.” "I probably played three chords for the next year. I took over my parents’ living room as my music studio. At 15, I was playing in a band. I had been headhunted out of Epsom and was playing gigs in London," Jimmy Page said. He told Mojo magazine in 2004, that it was probably left behind by the people who lived in the house before them or it was a friend of the family. But according to Page, nobody seemed to know why that guitar was in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBzuYNK95sMThe post The incredible story of the first guitar Jimmy Page ever had appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The vocalist Jack Russell helped to form the Hard Rock band Great White back in 1977 in Los Angeles, California. The band released their debut album in 1984 but they really became successful with the records "Once Bitten" (1987) and "...Twice Shy" (1989). He was a member of the band until 2011 when he left and formed his own version of the group, while the original one continued as Great White. Now the musician announced that he is retiring from touring because he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, which "is a disease associated with abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. These deposits, called Lewy bodies, affect chemicals in the brain whose changes, in turn, can lead to problems with thinking, movement, behavior, and mood. Lewy body dementia is one of the most common causes of dementia," according to the National Institute on Aging. Read the statement released by the Ex-Great White singer Jack Russell: "To my fans and friends, it is with the heaviest of hearts that I must announce my retirement from the road. After a recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia (LBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) in May 2024, I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you deserve." "Words cannot express my gratitude for the many years of memories, love and support. Thank you for letting me live my dreams. You have made my life a wonder," Jack Russell said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-yQt5pjq4w&pp=ygURamFjayBydXNzZWxsIDIwMjQ%3DThe post Ex-Great White singer Jack Russell announces retirement from touring appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

If you've ever had a baby that seems allergic to sleep, you know what a sleep-deprived nightmare it can be. How can it be so hard to get a baby to sleep when they're clearly tired and sleep is a necessity? Isn't it a natural instinct to sleep when you're exhausted? Is there some trick to it that you're somehow missing? These questions plague countless parents, but sleep therapist Chrissy Lawler says getting a baby to sleep can be done quickly and easily if you stick to a few key principles. Lawler, a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and mother of four, shared her secrets for getting babies to sleep in 30 seconds to two minutes with Good Morning America. Her advice might help some desperate, exhausted parents find some relief. "I am all about empowering women and parents and families to get good sleep because it benefits everybody's mental health and happiness," Lawler begins. She says "it's so easy if you get the timing right" to get a baby to drift off quickly.Here are Lawler's tips:1. Start putting them to sleep before they're overtired"The way that we deal with adult sleep troubles is the exact opposite of how we deal with baby sleep issues," Lawler says. "So in the adult sleep space, the more tired you are, the better you'll sleep, and as a result, the biggest mistake that parents make in trying to get their babies to sleep well is assuming if I can get my baby good and tired, then they'll sleep better." She says it's a mistake to think that what will work for us will work for a baby. "But really, with babies, sleep begets sleep," she says. "The more they sleep, the better they sleep, the more they will sleep."Lawler says babies offer subtle cues that they're starting to get tired, such as getting red around the eyes and eyebrows, gazing off into space, subtle yawning or very early signs of fussing. By the time they are full-on showing classic tired baby symptoms, it will be harder to get them to sleep.2. If the baby is a newborn, wrap them in a snug swaddleThe swaddle is a classic newborn sleep tool for a reason. "A good snug swaddle is everything," Lawler says. "We want to focus on doing all of the things that can help them get calm. A good snug swaddle is the first step." She demonstrates how to do a snug swaddle in the video: A sleep therapist shares her secrets to putting a baby to sleep in 30 seconds l GMA Good Morning America/YouTube (Lawler also has advice on her website, The Peaceful Sleeper, about when to transition out of swaddling.) 3. Bounce and make "Shhh Shhh" soundsBabies prefer to be on their side to go to sleep, says Lawler, and many like to have something to suck on like a pacifier. But after that, bouncing or swinging motions and making "Shhh Shhh" sounds are key. "You're not telling them to shush, you're making a loud whooshing sound like what they used to hear in the womb," she says.4. Gently stroke their eyebrows"One of my other favorite interventions that you can do is a very subtle eyebrow stroke to just help their eyes close naturally," Lawler says."You can do this while you're holding the passy in place and then they can just drift off to sleep."Lawler demonstrates how she gently strokes the baby right between the eyebrows to encourage them to close their eyes and drift off, and it's as simple as it sounds.5. Transfer them to their side before rolling them onto their backGetting a baby to sleep in your arms is one thing, but transferring them into the crib without waking them up is another. Lawler also shares a trick for that—laying them on their side first. Babies have a startle reflex when you lay them on their back, but if you start them on their side and then gently roll them over onto their back, you can help avoid it. "Parents, you are the expert for your baby," says Lawler, "and you can take what you love and leave the rest." You can find more baby sleep help on Lawler's website, The Peaceful Sleeper.
