Read that this morning on BBC; also had not realized Emerson had died earlier this year too.

Saw Greg Lake a long time ago performing Lucky Man solo with an acoustic guitar. He had a great voice, and could make any song haunt you.

And the 2016 war on talent continues...

I remember reading an article called something like..."Is rock and roll dead or is just everybody dying". It was actually interesting.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer was one of my favorite bands.  I didn't realize that Lake also played with King Crimson.
The Court of the Crimson King album cover has to be one of the best designs....ever.

The Court of the Crimson King is such a legendary album.
