“‘Scuse me, while I kiss this guy…” “There’s a bathroom on the right…”
Those are some of the better known cases of “disk-lexia” – lyrics we THINK we hear.
Hendrix, of course, wasn’t gay. He sang, “Kiss the SKY”. And CCR wasn’t pointing to the lavatory. They sang, “There’s a bad moon on the rise”.
In marketing, music and life, perception may be reality, but what you see and hear ain’t necessarily what you get.
Over the course of conducting his interviews, Frank learned this right quick. One of his subjects was rather surprised when he got our first draft transcript for his approval. After all, he was pretty sure that he would never have described Jimmy Page’s playing of the Theremin as “pathetic”.
Houston, we have an “oops”. learn more

In our previous post, I was telling you that Frank was 9 years old when he heard his first Led Zeppelin tune. It was Dazed and Confused, played on a jukebox in our family’s favourite Chinese restaurant.
You know how it is sometimes, right? There are defining moments in all our lives but we don’t realize their significance until we look back at our past. This was one that would change Frank’s life.
He started collecting everything Zep as soon as he was old enough to have the spending money. He went to Zep conventions. Record shows. Made friends with other collectors and fans. Most of all, he listened. The kid might have been deaf, because he listened LOUD. But we knew he wasn’t.

Cool! Our very first blog post!
Welcome to Enzepplopedia’s brand-new website. Enzepplopedia is devoted to Led Zeppelin, because of my brother Frank Reddon’s
encyclopaedic knowledge of the band. My name’s Lou Anne and I’ll be the one writing here most often, especially at the very beginning.
Anything that’s said about Led, though, is coming from Frank, the expert. Because there’s no way I could make this stuff up. OK? You already know far more about Zeppelin than I ever will, although I’m learning, thanks to the bro.
Frank and I hope you’ll enjoy your stay here. We have a sister site, too, where you’ll find even more information. I’ll tell you about that later.
First, let’s get acquainted.
