Various news online at TBL/Web

This news originally appeared in an edition of the newsletter "On This Day In Led Zeppelin History" that mentioned a Julie Felix connection with Led Zeppelin in 1970.

Julie Felix still performs and still has Led Zeppelin connections today. In fact, she met up with John Paul Jones at two of her live appearances this year. Both were in England to support the Mines Advisory Group, http://www.mag.org.uk.

(Update: Web content from here on out is no longer available.)

Most recently, Felix and Jones performed together earlier this month at a bookstore in London. Details and several photos from that appearance can be found at http://www.linwood.demon.co.uk/jpj120402.html courtesy of Tight But Loose. Dave Lewis had a chance to interview Julie Felix before she performed. Among the topics discussed was how Jimmy Page got to perform on her show in 1970.

This interview will be found in the next issue of Lewis' magazine, Tight But Loose, established in 1978 as the original Led Zeppelin magazine. See http://www.linwood.demon.co.uk/subscrb.html for subscription information.

Elsewhere on Tight But Loose's Web site, you can find the latest tour dates from Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. Jimmy Page is not expected to tour this year, but any gigs he does will be covered with the rest, at http://www.linwood.demon.co.uk/tourwat.html.

About the author

Steve "The Lemon" Sauer is a writer and musician based in Boca Raton, Fla., who has dedicated a portion of his life researching the history of rock group Led Zeppelin and monitoring the ongoing careers of the band's surviving members. Although he was barely a year old when Led Zeppelin broke up and it took him until his teen years to appreciate the music, it didn't take long to make up for it.

Steve is currently a contributing writer and consultant for Get the Led Out, a weekly syndicated radio program hosted by Carol Miller and syndicated in 100 U.S. markets including New York and Los Angeles. He also provides content for a Web site associated with the radio show, www.LedZepOnline.com.

In 2007, Steve launched Lemon Squeezings: Led Zeppelin News to cover the lead-up to the band's reunion concert at the end of that year. Since then, he has closely examined every rumor of a followup tour since then, often dispelling or clarifying misinformation perpetrated by the mainstream media. Using his journalistic training, Steve has also uncovered some facts and accounts previously unreported elsewhere.

At age 18, he began publishing On This Day In Led Zeppelin History, a daily newsletter detailing the interactions of members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and their manager, Peter Grant. The newsletter is located at www.OnThisDayInLedZeppelinHistory.com.

He enjoys uncovering stories and has employed various methods to communicate those stories to Led Zeppelin's vast fan base, utilizing terrestrial radio and the many facets of the Internet: from Usenet newsgroups to plain e-mail and now Facebook and Twitter. Steve also connects with live audiences when performing as a backup vocalist and keyboard player with various bands, including past onstage appearances with three cover or tribute acts performing the music of Led Zeppelin.
