<< What is it Duncan that you have with Emerson ? His name seems to appear
frequently in your posts. >>
steve (elsewhere in my band) is the one who rates him highest, I just enjoy
his well-above-average ability with the keys and some of his compositions.
he's also been a very exciting performer at times, sufficiently so to have
jimi hendrix following his antics with a home-movie camera. he manages best,
of the three main antiheroes of 70s rock, to avoid coming across as
unbelievably smug. his bands rocked, where camel and greenslade perhaps just
dealt with more cerebral matters.... and the elp 'tron caught fire on it's
own, without any assistance. waiting for the imminent nice book to appear.
duncan/m400nr1098 and some moogs. don't throw them about much.
