This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and I were just sniffing each other out. We'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and I was having trouble with latency in my recording. Out of frustration, I recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, I got my recording issues settled and we continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 
  In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 
  You can even watch a video of us all adding our parts on John's page right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdeT8ySZow&ab_channel=LowTechniqueCovers
  Our hope is that we honored the almighty Led Zeppelin with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

The Order of Things by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

Original Song by Bill Liggett   Rick Ledgerwood ( Bass ) Larry Sell ( Harmonica ) Bill Liggett ( Guitar and vocals )
Please believe me, not because you should, only just because its true
I shot all the bad guys from a thousand miles away
But that was when my aim was oh so true..so true
Catch it on the evening news not because it's true, only just because its information
I jumped in front of danger , back when my legs were strong
But that was when my legs were oh so strong... so strong
Chorus:
Strange things happen and they happen to so many, many strange things happen all the time.. strange things happen and they happen to so many , many strange things happen all the time
And when they do you'll have to wonder are they worth a nickel...or a penny..
A Nickel or a penny
Read it like a romance, not because you should...only just because I might have died and broke your little heart
But a steadfast hero I remained back when my heart was strong
But that was when my heart was oh so strong... so strong

Nickel or a Penny (Song for Adele take 2)

In these crazy times, everyone needs a cheerful  song. Hopefully, you'll enjoy this Folk/Jazz/ hybrid with a Ska ending.
Why not take a walk on a perfect day in Mr. Shade's neighborhood?

Lyrics:
I used to spend my days
Grinding my axe
I never knew how to relax
I could get  hung up on a memory
Ohh, that's my half assed symmetry
Walking down the street
Shuffling to my beat
The sky overhead
And the earth at my feet
I've packed up my problems
Put them in the backseat
I'm working on my karma balance sheet

I just wanna get high all day
By staring in your perfect face
Look into infinity
I'm in the vicinity
Of a perfect time and place

"Hello there, neighbor!"
"Hello, friends."
"Hello neighborhood dogs and cats"

Oh, I used to get hung up on a memory
That's my half assed symmetry
Walking down the street
Shuffling to my own beat
The sky overhead
The earth at my feet
Going to the house where we meet
The dogs in the neighborhood
They're grinning through their teeth

I just wanna get high all day
By staring into your perfect face
Look into infinity
I'm in the vicinity
You never know when you're making a memory

Here I go. 
I think I'm gonna take a little walk in my neighborhood
Hey Universe!
What do you have in store for me today?
I've got a little sunshine therapy coming on!
Yeah! You know I do
I just wanna get high all day
By looking into your perfect face
High all day
I don't need nothing
Nothing but your perfect face
I feel like I'm in the perfect time and space

Your Perfect Face

Lyrics:

Alone in my room, the outside's a blur
An eighties glow from my monitor
Old films play on VHS tape
But the snow outside slowly takes shape

But I don't care, it's all the same
In my world, there's a different game

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

You may howl, the streets are bare
But here I sit without a care
Thought the disc's hung, loading slow
As winter's tale outside starts to grow

These falling stars, they speak to me
My screensaver's all I need to see

Digital snow falling from the screen 
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Alone but happy in my silent space
The digital flicks keep up their pace
They understand the way I feel 
In this empty world, they're all that's real

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Let it BE Xmas

Digital Snow

Lyrics
Telling lies to build hate in our eyes
Shameful acts not free to say otherwise
This is not a game anymore, oh no
They deny the past and wash our minds
With all the rich man's fat lies
Let's not be the coward running away

Take our money, kill our hope
But I think that you should know
One day you'll be eating

Fist full of sand, Fist full of sand
It's what you left us, it's what you get
Reap what you sow, that's how it goes
It is so, it is so, yes it is.

It's all your fault and 
We saw this coming anyways what can I say
1 + 1 is 2 for real, no way
In the dark sand feels like grains of salt
and you'll have both in your dead eye
That's the way the universe works
But you knew that anyway

A soul black as night and a heart 3 times too small
A real life grinch has come to rob us all

In the end you're left with a fist full of sand
Fist full of sand is what you get, hey
Karma is a bitch and a fist full of sand is what you get!!!

Fist Full of Sand
