For Jimmy Page, the 1960s were a process of elimination, trying one thing before moving on to something else that might further his career and better pay the bills.
The future Led Zeppelin star left school early to join his first professional band, Neil Christian And The Crusaders. He dropped out of art college to become one of London's hottest session musicians. Eventually he abandoned the studio work which, while well-rewarded, didn't provide the kind of income he might make if The Yardbirds took flight. And then came Zeppelin, and he finally was in charge.
