He did that for a TV show here in Australia, every week the musical bit was "Stairway to Heaven" played by a different type of performer/musical group. Rolf was one of many. I have the collection of them on VHS tape called "Stairways to Heaven". Their was a big band version, a poetry reading, an Elvis version etc.

Another vote for Rolf's take on Stairway To Heaven, which can be found on the CD, "Stairways To Heaven," with 12 of the many different versions of Stairway To Heaven performed at the end of the Aussie show AL-58 was talking about, "The Money Or The Gun." Sadly, the album is out-of-print, but well worth locating if you're into Dr. Demento-type dementia & novelty. I also enjoy The Beatnix's convincingly Beatlesque take on the Zep classic.

Apparently, someone in the US keeps a top 10 list for music at weddings and another for music at funerals. Stairway to HEaven is the only piece that features on both lists. I can only guess the couples haven't read the words before choosing it!

Take care, Graham.
