Keith Emerson is gone.

Gunshot in Santa Monica. Suspected suicide.

This is going to be a long Winter I'm afraid.

He was found last Friday. BBC reports that he suffered from damage to his right hand which affected his ability to play. Now ruled a suicide.

From the Beginning, Living Sin, The Sheriff, Benny the Bouncer, Karn Evil 9 (the whole thing).....and, any truth to the story that Tarkus was done in ONE TAKE!?

I got bored playing the same old licks and grafted some Emerson explosions onto guitar; occasionally got nods from some who understood, and raised eyebrows from some who weren't sure.....
