    Saw him and Greg Lake a few years ago at a great venue the Orpheum Theater. The worst seat in that place was like 20 rows back. It was like hanging out with them. They conversed with the audience like it wasn't even a concert. Keith still looked like a kid. RIP

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    ELP was my first musical nerdgasam back in '70-something when I first heard Tarkus.
    And then BSS.
    Put me on the road to the eclectic range of things I enjoy today.

    Listening to ELP's double live album "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends" as I type this. The over 17 minute version of "Karn Evil 9" is amazing!

    Had nerve neuropathy and lost function in his right hand, just before going on tour to Japan. What a bummer.
