Comment by Danny Boy Davidson on November 23, 2019 at 5:16pm: Danny Boy Fact: I have never did a cover..ever (3 or 4 or 6 or 12 string) but I dig some Led Zep! so onward I will go and I will try to play my first cover! May be awhile tho. But I will sing and play this historically rad song. Thanks brother.
