Yardbird Jimmy Page says, 'Open Your Mind'
uncredited writer, Hit Parader, March 1967
In the December issue of H.P., you read a little background on Jimmy Page, who is the new Yardbird. He started off on bass to fill in for departing Paul Smith. When Jeff Beck was taken ill during their American tour in September, Jimmy took over the lead guitar chores. Jeff and Jimmy now both play lead and Chris Dreja has switched to bass. We can't wait to hear their next album. In the meantime, we can share Jimmy's thoughts in the following interview.
