Many afternoons and evenings sitting in a hazy basement rec room at my friend's place listening to this band.

When I was a teenager my friend had all their albums. Spent many a Saturday night in a smokey haze listening to those fantastic keyboard solos. I think I am going to go out and buy some vinyl today.

Oooooh, what a lucky man he was.

Fanfare for a very uncommon man

Most awesome keyboardist ever. I saw him playing one instrument with one hand and reach over another to play that one backwards. The guy I was with had a degree in music and could not believe it.

Weird, I was at the Montreal concert and so was a future girlfriend that I met five years later in Calgary. Funny how our paths cross.

I've still got a vinyl of ELP ... must find it and play for old time's sake. A great band.
