July/August 2020 Parish Magazine July/Aug 2020 EDITORIAL This two-month issue of our magazine is the last in the present run. In September there will be new pictures on the front cover and the advertising pages will have been reset. Unfortunately many of our small local businesses have not been trading since March and can no longer afford to advertise but I hope you will all support those who are continuing. It has been heartening to know that many of our readers have been seeking out the landmarks pictured through the year. I hope as much pleasure will be given by the new theme. I’d like to extend my thanks to all contributors during the year and especially the effort made to keep the magazine interesting since lock- down. A really big hand clap for Jo Smith who prepares the magazine for the printers every month and Carole and John Wilson who make sure you all receive your copy. There will be spare copies available in the church porch but if you would like to have it delivered monthly to your door for only £5 a year please contact me.

See answer in September. Deadline for September issue: 15th August 2020 Please submit articles to [email protected] 1 Dear Parishioners, July/Aug 2020 Every morning I read two online newspapers. The coronavirus is of course centre stage and most of the news items are about the pandemic. They reveal that COVID-19 deaths in the UK have topped 40,000; that masks may or may not afford protection; that the “R” number, which indicates the potential rate of infection, is creeping up again in some parts of England. Yet the world is beginning to grow noisy again. There is more traffic on the roads and more people making for newly reopened shops. A greater variety of news items are beginning to appear on our screens each day. Those of us who have tentatively learnt to Zoom and to Skype are finding ourselves zooming more frequently. In so many ways this new burst of activity is truly to be welcomed. Life seems to be struggling towards something slightly more recognisable as a new “normal”. There are real bonuses, like the tentative relaxation of some of the social distancing guidelines so those who have families can be reunited a little more, even 2 metres apart. But the future brings its own unknowns – and anxieties too. In twelve short weeks some of those things on which we once depended have changed almost beyond recognition. Some are walking the intolerably lonely journey of bereavement. Health has become a far more fragile commodity. Some are still imprisoned in their own homes. ‘Self-isolating’ implies choice – for some there is no choice. Some feel unsafe in their own workplaces. For some, job security and financial stability has all but disappeared. Others are working harder than ever before in order to keep us and our children safe in an unsafe world. For many years we had a family cottage in Aberdeenshire and we had a favourite walk. It’s called the Queen’s Drive because it was Queen Victoria’s favourite walk as well. It’s a circular walk and pleasantly undemanding, a wide grassy track sloping gently between lovely trees with glorious views. One year we decided to come back on a more exciting path. We tried it and the path got more and more difficult until it petered out and we found ourselves clinging to an almost vertical hillside of slippery grass with a sheer drop of about 150 feet below us. I 2 remember feeling very unhappy indeed as I inched forward, holding on grimly to the stoutest pieces of heather. That walk is up there in my memory with the other scariest moments of my life and I really thought we might both end up at the bottom of the cliff. I only looked down once. That was enough. After that I kept my eyes fixed on my athletic friend who was leading the way and I tried hard to always find the same holds in the hope that as they had supported him they might also support me. COVID-19 has brought us fears and insecurities and the way out will bring more. I am just reading a new book “Where is God in a Coronavirus World?” by John C. Lennox (The Good Book Company). It is an encour- aging read and only 62 pages long. The “blurb” on the back cover says:– “We are living through a unique, era-defining period. Many of our old certainties have gone, whatever our view of the world and whatever our beliefs. The coronavirus pandemic and its effects are perplexing and unsettling for all of us. How do we begin to think it through and cope with it?” John Lennox tackles some hugely relevant questions and, refreshingly, he does not pretend to have all the answers. But like the psalmist, he brings the underlying conviction that God has not deserted his people. And at the heart of the world’s suffering is Jesus in whose suffering is our hope. There are things we simply cannot do in our own strength, but which become possible when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and know ourselves loved and led. In the words of an old American hymn, When the road is rough and steep, fix your eyes on Jesus. He is faithful to the end. Fix your eyes on Him.

The latest burial in the old section was in 1914 and the are several military graves in the churchyard; it is also known as the Long Churchyard. The path along to the back gate has been awful, almost non-existent and often muddy, but with assistance from Friends of All Saints Headley, Headley Parish Council, East Hants District and Hants County Councils we have refurbished/ replaced the existing path so it is easy for people from Church- fields etc. and from the Holme School to come to the Church- yard, Church and Village Centre. The path length was 160m and was put in by local firm James Gatcum and we thank them for that. We hope you like it too. Andrew Barton, Rector and PCC Poetic Licence!

We are being advised not to rush! The lockdown has certainly given us all a chance to ‘stop and smell the roses’ enabling us to draw closer to God in different ways.

The picture on last month’s cover was of the stone standing on the Village Green to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of George V in 1935. Originally it had a plaque attached to the top, but over the years this became detached from the plinth and is now on display in the foyer of the Village Hall. The plaque was unveiled by Dennis John Chiverton, whose birthday was nearest to the date of the Jubilee – he was 6 years old – see below.

  • 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).

  • On “The Battle of Evermore” by Led Zeppelin
    TR 11 On “The Battle of Evermore” by Led Zeppelin Douglas Menagh “The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time, was for people to be happy.” —Robert Plant The last time I was with my dad—before he was hospitalized and passed—was at his Led Zeppelin place in Peter Cooper Village in the spring of 2013. I stood there, waiting for him outside in a quad of buildings on a sunny afternoon. A cool breeze blew through the trees as “The Battle of Evermore” adults accompanied children on paths. My father was always good around kids, especially Untitled / Runes / ZoSo / IV to me and my sister Nancy when we were little. It made me happy to know that he was 11/1971 somewhere peaceful, where he could remember happy times with his own family. That distracted me from my own nervousness at reuniting with him after a period of Atlantic estrangement. It wasn’t hard to tell from my father’s walk that it was him passing through the entrance archway into his community. He always had a familiar gait, and I was happy to see it again. In our recent chats, he sounded like the good man that was my father, not the person he had been all those years. He walked around with an oxygen tank, which I had heard about from my mom and sister, who were both on speaking terms with him by then. He didn’t look all bad though. His hair still looked wavy and silvery. Mostly, I was glad to see him and break bread.

  • Led Zeppelin
    For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination.

  • Song of the Day Xcviii
    SONG OF THE DAY XCVIII So here we are, the final two SOTD‟s and I feel that I could write for hours about both of these tracks and still not say all that can be said for these epic moments in the Led Zeppelin catalog. As the recent ones have been pretty long, I fully expect this one, and the next, to be massively long. Not only were the songs themselves quite lengthy, but their place in Zeppelin‟s history, rock history, and our very own consciousness dictates that they be given the utmost respect and in attempting to do that I am certain that I will be elaborating on these for quite a few pages. I promised a wild journey for this particular song, and believe me, it is. So get your bags packed and let‟s head back to “Physical Graffiti,” side two, track three, clocking in at 9:41 – oh wait, that‟s not right – clocking in at 8:32, the song that Robert has said is the one that best defines Led Zeppelin, the incredible and most epic, “Kashmir.” For those of you too young to know a time when LP‟s ruled the day, the original pressings of “Physical Graffiti” listed “Kashmir” incorrectly as being 9:41… and to clarify one thing to anyone who may get confused, when I mention the lengths of the songs in this series, I always go by the album length. For some odd reason, CD‟s tend to add a second to songs… so if you‟re thinking I am constantly getting the time wrong on the songs, I‟m not.

  • Led Zeppelin the Band, by Zeppelin Expert Chris M. Zangara
    Led Zeppelin the Band, by Zeppelin Expert Chris M. Zangara SOURCE: http://experts.about.com/q/Led-Zeppelin-501/zeppelin-essay.htm An essay on subcultures of America, and I chose the led zeppelin subculture. To explain the culture, its terms, why people are so in love with zeppelin, its history, its boundaries (Thanks to Guitar World's Brad Tolinski for the 'meat' of this 1st passage.) Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham did not invent hard rock. They did, however elevate it to an art form. Unlike many of their lead-footed contemporaries who painted in sludgy, monochromatic fuzz tones, Led Zeppelin created sweeping aural vistas. Every song in the band's catalog packs the wallop of a full-blown three dimensional, four-star rock and roll movie. With guitarist Page in the directors chair, Zeppelin performed brilliantly in bluesy, X-rated features like the orgasmic "Whole Lotta Love," Disney-esque fantasies like the whimsical "The Song Remains The same" and exotic 70mm Epics like "Kashmir" and "Stairway To Heaven." No one in rock before or since has equaled Led Zeppelin's flair for musical drama. Page has famously claimed that the band was designed so it's sound would have "shadow and light." Sorry Jimmy, but even you must know by now that you -- and your other 3 band mates -- lived, breathed and performed in nothing less than Technicolor. LED ZEPPELIN THE BAND: The most wonderful thing about Led Zeppelin is the variety within their music. They broke all the rules of music, as they never stuck to a one certain formula like most other bands of the time.
