I've had one particular bit of a song on earworm all day today. 3:25 to 5:32 of this live version of Fanfare For The Common Man

Would make better hold music than a lot of the crap doing the hold music job IMO.

Works Volume 1

Emerson Lake & Palmer release their first of the progressive rock series "Works" on March 17, 1977. Originally a double-LP, it is divided into four distinct sections. The first three sides feature solo material from each member—Keith Emerson (orchestral), Greg Lake (acoustic ballads), and Carl Palmer (jazz/rock fusion)—while the final side features the full band. It's ambitious to say the least and Works Volume 2 would follow later in the year. #ELP…

Today is the 10-year anniversary of keyboardist Keith Emerson's death. I consider myself lucky to have seen ELP at Selland Arena in Fresno when they were touring Brain Salad Surgery.

While many protégée kids can knock out Vivaldi at 8YO, Emerson could slay on his Hammond organ with his left hand and simultaneously blow the entire world's musical minds on his Moog synthesizer with his right hand. His skills were SUPERHUMAN!

His gravesite in Lancing, West Sussex, England.

Keith Emerson & Greg Lake
From the Beginning
(originally from 1972)
Live from Manticore Hall

(A manticore is a monster from Persian tales that has a human head, a lion's body, and a scorpion's tail.)

Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool

"Touch And Go" by Emerson, Lake & Powell

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/touch-and-go/1444154716?i=1444155106)

Touch And Go by Emerson, Lake & Powell, aka ELP, is the only song by them that I know that was anywhere close to a hit. Kind of a 1-Hit Wonder if you will. But great song and one I always love to hear when it plays on my playlist.
