This Led Zep song is more than 50 years old. I was today years old when I learned how to pronounce it in Welsh (Bron-yr-aur means "chest of gold") and how to play it in a weird tuning (Open C6) which I most definitely would NOT have known or understood if I hadn't watched Gretchen break it on down.

Somehow stumbled on this vid from Sep 1, 2017 with 827 views. Made for the Halifax School Board Music Department in the 70s. I love the opening medley and the image of the band on the back cover.
It was published by Waterloo Music Company and I grew up in KWC, so it's a meaningful find. I fell down a little rabbit hole on the Canadian music industry.
Here's the discog for more info: https://www.discogs.com/release/7811645-A-Ukuleles-Of-Halifax-Ukulele-Yes-?srsltid=AfmBOooN-uXInncYqLXq3e54j24f7kWn1qJE0-Wv59gIqEqeChNLoHeg

Yodeling legend, if you've never seen/heard this before you'll think it's fake.

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
