Thanks to the G-Man and 'The Naked Brunch'

Hello and thank you go out to the G-Man, who had me on his weekly radio program, "The Naked Brunch," as part of his celebration of Zeptember. His show can be heard weekly on WPSC-FM 88.7 in Wayne, N.J. Try to find it if you happen to be near William Paterson University on Sunday mornings.

Will release of DVD set spawn a Led Zeppelin reunion?

These comments originally appeared in an edition of the newsletter "On This Day In Led Zeppelin History."

Soon, we'll see a new Led Zeppelin DVD set. This much is true for sure. But will the surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunite? Think of the rumors that persisted while the band was around: They're going to break up! The rumors were wrong every time. And think of all the rumors that the surviving members of Led Zeppelin would reunite. The rumors were likewise wrong every time. History shows the odds are against a reunion.

Where were you on 9/11?

These comments originally appeared in an edition of the newsletter "On This Day In Led Zeppelin History."

Lemon Squeezings posed the question to John Paul Jones last year: Where were you when you learned of the terrorist attacks on America on Sept. 11, 2001?
"We'd just returned. We were out shopping. We'd just heard it when we came back actually. We'd heard it on the car radio. It kind of sounded at times like Orson Welles, how he did War of the Worlds. You just can't believe it."

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.

Do you have a news tip to share with Steve? Do you have something you would like him to write about? Would you like to book him for a speaking engagement? He can be contacted by e-mail at Steve at LedZeppelinNews.com.
