Check out this late 60's Spirit tune and see if you don't agree that it very possibly seeded an idea in some body's head in the early 70's!

Randy Califonia wasn't the neck burner that Page is
however
He was just as creative!

Yes Howlin, that is a bit too much for coincidence I think.
I grew up with three older sisters, some years older than I in fact.
I have experienced much different music from the late 50's to the present time despite having been born in 60.
This tune strikes a familliar chord with me and stirs some old memory.
Thanks for posting.

It's reminiscent of Stairway but not really Stairway. Was there ever a lawsuit over this tune for copywrite infringement? I think it would have been thrown out if there ever was one. Just not the same song IMO.

I always thought that Randy thought of himself as some sort of frustrated classical composer. He did have some good ideas, but he often went flowery/pretty, too.
You could say he was ahead of his time, & was writing new age.

I guess you could say that being a teenager playing guitar in Jimi Hendrix's band could be considered "ahead of his time"..
I do agree that the "flowery/pretty" description rings of truth. I kinda think the same thing sorta happened to the initially ultra creative Quicksilver Messenger Service later on in their career.
