Listen to Nothing At All by Gentle Giant. That is very similar to Stairway.
The world's first performance on the fluid piano:
Utsav Lal - Raga Bhairav Alaap-Jod-Jhalla
Ah, Hogmanay.
I didn't get where I am today by coolly avoiding slush.
Here's the first for the New Year. From Eve, of course:

The Hazey Janes - If Ever There Is Gladness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-biwFsTCE18
Taken from the album 'Language Of Faint Theory'. Released Monday June 2nd 2014.
The late Michael Marra was Dad to a couple of the Hazey Janes. The British Randy Newman never got the international recognition he deserved. He was too Dundonian even for English tastes. But to my mind, he was one of the two true - largely unrecognised - greats of Scottish music - perhaps even British music.
On New Years Eve, my mind always turns to Hamish The Goalie, his song about Hamish McAlpine, the eccentric goalkeeper who spent 20 years at Dundee United. It describes the wonderful night that Monaco came to United's ground Tannadice in the European Cup, Hamish's performance and how Grace Kelly was spotted in front of the sign for Taylor Brothers Coal. It is my New Years Eve song now but, more than that, my ultimate football song, especially for the phrase "Hamish stokes young men's dreams into a burning flame". Somehow it encapsulates a much bigger - and universal - feeling than nine words can normally do.

Further to last night:
1 January 2015 - Dundee United 6 Dundee 2.
Ironically, Marra was a Dundee supporter.
This was one of the most interesting releases from 2014:
