Z is for.....

Zeppelin.  Led Zeppelin, that is.  My all-time favorite band, hands down.

I had joked off and on with D over a couple of years that if the group ever got back together (this being the late 1990s) that we'd go see them in concert, which he laughingly agreed to figuring A) one of the band had already shuffled off this mortal coil and B) the likelihood of this actually occuring was nil.  Be careful what you agree to.

The next summer, word was out that Plant and Page were touring and by gum, I was holding D to the agreement.  The concert nearest us was right around the time of my birthday, so we spent the money on the tickets and went.  Absolutely phenomenal.  I still have my concert ticket stubs and my T-shirt with the Swan Song label logo on the back (complete with all the Celtic/Book of Kells-esque motifs).

Z, by the way, is also for Zoso and you can hit the link to read all about that symbol of Jimmy Page, as well as the other 3 symbols of the group's members.

And that, as they say, is all folks!  I am not hosting a 2007 ABC-Along, but if someone else wants to start a ring and needs some help setting it up, I am glad to give what limited help I've got to give.  Also, if you've posted all the entries from A to Z, be sure to let Margene know so you can get entered in the chocolate give-away.  It's been fun!!

All for now.....

I didn't make it all the way through the alphabet, but I still think it was an excelllent idea, Anne. Thanks for running it this year.

See, I guessed it (if you can remember back that long...). ;)

I love Zeppelin, too! This was such fun, Anne. Thanks for the great idea!

My DH loves your Z!

Thanks for hosting the ABC along Anne, it was really fun! There were times when I didn't think I would make it, but hey, I like a challenge every now and again!

thank heavens *that's* done. Not that I am thru with my project but at least I don't have a balancing act in 07.

I almost bought a horse named Zoso about a decade ago. Son of the infamous endurance horse Dana's North Lite - I used to ride with Mary K when I lived in MO. Zoso ended up being bought by another friend. Did I mention he was a little 14.2 guy - palomino?

Wow-I wouldn't have figured you for a Zeppelin fan, but hey, what's not to like? I'm sorry I didn't start bloggong sooner as it was only recently I figured what the ABC along was all about. You did a really great thing though!

I saw Led Zeppelin in concert once, and they were FANTASTIC! Thank you for hosting our ABC Along. It has been a fun and interesting challenge through the year. I'm going to miss it, but I think I've done my best this year. It would be hard to try to duplicate it.

Great choice for Z!
Thank you so much for hosting the ABC Along, it's really got me blogging this year and I've loved learning about everyone else's lives too.

I saw Zepplin TWICE! Yes, here in SLC TWICE! They were great (and still are) and it seems they are being rediscovered by the younger generations, too. The ABCAlong was great fun. You really came up with a humdinger!! Thanks for a fun year of posts.

[Kim]

Aaahh....good choice!!

[Maryellen]

Hey I'd like to try hosting the abc along. Should I start my own ring or can I try the one that's already formed?

[Brandie]

Thanks for hosting the ABC along! It was a lot of fun playing this last year =)

Excellent Z. Thanks for hosting the ABC-along, Anne. I had a wonderful time participating!

I sure am behind on my blog-reading, after being gone all last week, but this is a great pick for Z. One of my faves, too.
