Since I never warmed up to Elton John's music

You should get a copy of the Classic Albums DVD that covers Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.  It's not about Elton, it's about that awesome band of his.  I think that's the best one of the Classic Albums series.
Cheers

I figured I might as well throw this up.  I do like ELP, but I still prefer Murray/Olssen as the rhythm section.  I saw ELP twice, and loved them both times.  First time was their first tour, and Yes opened the show.   Maybe it's me, but I always think Lake sounds slightly flat when he sings.




Back when ELP were actually still young, cute, underground and unbombastic. With Luke Skywalker as their singer. Very fetching what Keith wears in that vid, glitzy, but no cape!

I'm quite partial to the Ace Of Spades one... ;)

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

That's a good idea and something I'd be interested in. Thanks for pointing that out!

Bourree is from Bach's Suite No. 1 for Lute in E Minor. That's lute, not flute.

Here it is in the proper key, played on a lute family instrument.

Good chording technique.

Who said Johnny Ramone had explored all possibilities in full?
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Leo Kottke, from Mudlark



Kottke has said that Bach had 20 children because his organ didn't have any stops.
