Re: Keith Emerson R.I.P.
Wow, this is a surprise.
I've never been a huge ELP fan (nor the Strawbs nor the Nice), but have always recognized their artistry and enjoy them more as I age. And Emerson's chops as a keyboardist were beyond reproach.

FYI, Emerson was not in the Strawbs. You might be thinking of Rick Wakeman.

Re: Keith Emerson R.I.P.
I was a fan during the progressive rock scare of the late 70s. Saw ELP in concert a couple of times and it was always a hoot. Got to see his giant slab of Moog sprout batwings and launch fireworks. Got to see Emerson sit down at a fake grand piano, strap himself to the bench. The piano then rose high above the stage and flipped end-over-end several times with Emerson pretending to play it. You had to hand it to the guy for showmanship.
Really an immensely talented and interesting guy. A lot of the prog rock giants had incredible technical skills, but uneven musical tastes, to say the best.
Friend of mine met him and said he was a remarkably nice guy.

- Tell us something.: I play high and low whistle with Traditional Irish Music being my focus of interest. I love Irish music and consider it as a direct connection to my Irish heritage. I enjoy participation in whistle tours, chatting with other players, and learning much from the many talented folks that frequent C & F.
