Here's a short clip from the documentary "It Might Get Loud". Page is listening to Rumble by Link Wray and his Ray Men. It's cool to see a Rock Legend like Page really impressed with someone else's music.

I love Jimmy Page. He is a human being ... and he shows us all what that experience can be. He lives his passion. I don't feel him being larger than life, or a star above me or anyone. What he IS, is one of us who RECOGNIZES how exciting and beautiful BEING is ... and he radiates it. He encourages you to see your own Light. There are many people like him ... but also, he is the only Jimmy Page ... this is the paradox! And I love how he is genuine with himself. He gets out of his own way ... and lets the Joy of Being be his life. And he's shared it with the World in exactly his own way. And we can each do this. That's what I hear in his music, and in his manner of getting excited and sharing it with others. He is the Child ... and reminds us that the Child is not powerless or to be crushed by adulthood ... but to be upheld ... and that the Child is the genius. Einstein had that awareness too. Yes, I love Jimmy Page!

I'm old enough to remember Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" being played on a 45 rpm record changer at party when I was 12, when it was new. The record was HOT and it still is. The look on Jimmy's face says it all. "Rumble" is a special tune and the recording here is still MAGICAL!

Fred Lincoln 'Link' Wray, Jr. (May 2, 1929 - November 5, 2005), was an American rock and roll guitarist, songwriter and vocalist who first came to popularity in the late 1950s. Building on the distorted electric guitar sound of early records, his 1958 instrumental hit "Rumble" by Link Wray and his Ray Men popularized "the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists",[3] making possible "punk and heavy rock".[4] Rolling Stone placed Wray at No. 45 of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.[5] In 2013 he was announced as a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[6] His musical style primarily consisted of rock and roll, rockabilly and country.[7] Wray's first hit, "Rumble", was banned in New York and Boston for fear it would incite teenage gang violence - a remarkable feat for an instrumental. Before, during and after his stints with major labels Epic and Swan, Wray released 45's under many names. Tiring of the corporate music machine, he began recording albums using a three-track studio he converted from an outbuilding on his brother's property that his father used to raise chickens.[10] While living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970s, Wray was introduced to Quicksilver Messenger Service guitarist John Cipollina by bassist James Hutchinson.[11] He subsequently formed a band initially featuring special guest Cipollina along with the rhythm section from Cipollina's band Copperhead, bassist Hutch Hutchinson, and drummer David Weber. They opened for the band Lighthouse at The Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles from May 15-19, 1974.[12] He later did numerous concerts and radio broadcasts in the Bay Area including KSAN (FM) and the Bill Graham venue Winterland Ballroom, with Les Lizama later replacing Hutchinson on bass.[13] He toured and recorded two albums with retro-rockabilly artist Robert Gordon in the late 1970s.[14] The 1980s to the present day saw a large number of reissues as well as new material. One member of his band in the 1980s, drummer Anton Fig, later became drummer in the CBS Orchestra on the Late Show with David Letterman. In 1994, he played on four songs of the album Chatterton by French rocker Alain Bashung Jack Rose cited Wray as an influence,[18] as did Iggy Pop,[19] and Neil Young.[20] Jimmy Page says that Link Wray had a "real rebel attitude" and credits him in It Might Get Loud as a major influence in his early career. According to Rolling Stone, Pete Townshend of The Who once said, "If it hadn't been for Link Wray and 'Rumble,' I never would have picked up a guitar." On October 16, 2013, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that Link Wray was a nominee for inclusion in 2014

Jimmy, saw you with the Yardbirds (1966?) at the Stockton, Cal. Civic Auditorium without Paul Samwell Smith. Chris Dreja on Bass. Full house, great concert. Still remember those White bell bottoms!

He reminds me of me when I pull out my old Little Richard 45s and re-live my youth. The sheer joy of hearing such music again. The difference is, I waited until I'm 75 to pick up a guitar. Oh well, there's hope for me yet...
