Greg Lake dead at 69

Greg Lake, of ELP and King Crimson (but mostly ELP) fame.

ELP was my favorite band back in the early 80s, and I still have huge respect for them. This saddens me.

Another one.

I was a massive ELP fan. Sad indeed.

Wyld Bird Seed typically tip the hat to someone recently departed by playing one of their numbers in our next gig. Unfortunately in this case I think we would need to exhibit a level of musicianship far beyond what we're capable of to do Greg Lake justice

How lovely - My first ever album (cassette) was "Emerson, Lake and Palmer" - happy memories playing it on a mono cassette player on a beach in Spain.

So sad,
