I once was working in a home somewhere in Los Angeles County and in the kitchen on the refrigerador
there was a picture of Robert Plant , when I enquired the girl there said he was here cousin. Thinking
back I thought how cool that would have been if he was visiting there. Plant has the best singing voice I have ever heard.....................joel wirth in california
