Music resources from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk When The Levee Breaks chords (for acoustic guitar an oxymoron?) Led Zeppelin 1970 (Kansas Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie 1929) Arguably, one of the finest recordings ever mixing the blues with heavy metal rock. About the great Mississippi flood of 1927. Very hard to accurately duplicate because of the heavy amount of studio recording, echo harmonica & special effects. E7* = G string 1st fret + A string 2nd fret (2 finger E7 chord) E7** = E chord + B string 3rd fret (4 finger E7 chord) E chord Repeatedly strum E7*/E/E7**/E7* Play around with different combinations for the best effect, deemphasizing the high E string and emphasizing the low E string Capo I E7*/E/E7**/E7* 18x C D E7*/E 4x C D E7*/E 4x E7* E E7** E If it keeps on raining, levee's goin' to break, 2x E7* E E7** E When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay.

A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell's Kitchen Liner Notes
Led Blimpie: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell’s Kitchen Liner Notes Originally begun as a 3 song demo, this project evolved into a full-on research project to discover the recording styles used to capture Zeppelin's original tracks. Sifting through over 3 decades of interviews, finding the gems where Page revealed his approach, the band enrolled in “Zeppelin University” and received their doctorate in “Jimmy Page's Recording Techniques”. The result is their thesis, an album entitled: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell's Kitchen. The physical CD and digipack are adorned with original Led Blimpie artwork that parodies the iconic Zeppelin imagery. "This was one of the most challenging projects I've ever had as a producer/engineer...think of it; to create an accurate reproduction of Jimmy Page's late 60's/early 70's analog productions using modern recording gear in my small project studio. Hats off to the boys in the band and to everyone involved.. Enjoy!" -Freddie Katz Co-Producer/Engineer Following is a track-by-track telling of how it all came together by Co-Producer and Led Blimpie guitarist, Thor Fields. Black Dog -originally from Led Zeppelin IV The guitar tone on this particular track has a very distinct sound. The left guitar was played live with the band through a Marshall JCM 800 half stack with 4X12's, while the right and middle (overdubbed) guitars went straight into the mic channel of the mixing board and then into two compressors in series. For the Leslie sounds on the solo, we used the Neo Instruments “Ventilator" in stereo (outputting to two amps).

Rethinking the Law on Corporate Manslaughter to Better Reflect the Artificial Legal Existence of Corporations
Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review (2019) ARE CORPORATIONS FREE TO KILL? RETHINKING THE LAW ON CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER TO BETTER REFLECT THE ARTIFICIAL LEGAL EXISTENCE OF CORPORATIONS 1 Lucy Hooper Abstract This year, 2018, marks the 10 year anniversary of the implementation of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. It is, therefore, an appropriate time to review its effectiveness and consider whether the Act has achieved what it set out to. Its introduction was a parliamentary attempt to address the key defects’2 under the previous identification doctrine, where a company’s liability was dependant on gross negligent manslaughter being sought in the relevant directing mind and will. This article will highlight the inadequacies of the former regime and review to what extent the 2007 Act has resolved them. Importantly, it references the recent Grenfell Tower disaster, which, if corporate manslaughter charges are pursued, will be the Act’s biggest and most public challenge to date. Keywords: corporate manslaughter, Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, gross negligent manslaughter Introduction Companies, as a result of Salomon3, are ‘distinct and independent’4 entities separate from their members. However, in reality, ‘corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires’ and merely ‘help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings’. 5 Consequently, under the original common law models, corporate criminal liability had to be found in individuals and then ‘attributed’ to the company. Attribution in the UK, commonly takes two forms. The first, vicarious liability, imposes liability on corporations ‘for the criminal acts of employees…acting within the scope of their employment’.6 It is, ‘wholly derivative’.7 While the principle is easily applied, ‘a corporation is not…so abstract, impalpable 1 Lucy graduated with a first class LLB honours and was awarded the Womble Bond Dickinson prize for the best student undertaking commercial law.

I'm Jenn White in Washington and today we celebrate Independence Day with a one hour tribute to an original American art form. We call it Red, White and The Blues. Blues music arose from the African American experience in the South. On the farms and in fields, enslaved Black people sang to keep their spirits up, spread the news and sometimes to relay secret messages. In church, they sang gospel music. At work, the blues. Blues music went on to become the basic DNA for jazz, R&B, rock and roll, rap and most every manner of modern music.

My colleague and fellow scribe Tony Wilson had secured the precious black vinyl LP and dropped it onto the turntable, awaiting my reaction. We were immediately transfixed by the brash, bold sounds that fought their way out of the lo- fi speakers – Robert Plant’s screaming vocals, the eerie Hammond organ sounds of John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page’s supreme guitar mastery. But amid the kaleidoscope of impressions, the drums were the primary element that set pulses racing. We marveled at the sheer audacity, the sense of authority, the spatial awareness present on every track. Within moments, John Bonham’s cataclysmic bass drum triplets and roaring snare rolls had signaled a new era of rock drumming. The first time I saw Bonham up close was in December 1968, at The Marquee Club on Soho’s Wardour Street. While The Marquee has long held a mythical status in the rich history of the London rock scene – hosting early appearances by such legendary bands as The Who and The Rolling Stones – it was actually a dark and rather cramped facility with a tiny stage that fronted an even stuffier dressing room.
