The greatest keyboardist evah!
First post here on the non-PC-HRC site for real Liberals! Responded to your post on TOS (TheOtherSite) re: I've got a vinyl and CD copy of Tarkus, which I love to listen to when I really want to connect.
Also, saw ELP in early-70s Atlanta (kinda hazy on details...:-) and was just blown away as he played piano, organ, Moog, (what's the name of the weird old electronic instrument you control by hand-motion without contact???) and 4 or 5 other instruments at the same time!!
Awesome musician!
It is not WHAT you think, but HOW you think that matters.
aka HonorFredHampton on TOP
The Moog Instument you control by non-touching
It's called the Theremin. And Mr Moog built many of them.
RIP Keith Emerson, a very good player of several instruments.
best, john
Strange that a harp of thousand strings should keep in tune so long
He completely wailed;
A real wizard!...SSK
