He turned 60 years old last Nov... I think he looks pretty darn good for 60.

	I really like Emerson's Piano Concerto. while not into classical as a genere (spelling?), I know a thing or two about classical music, having played a lot in my high school marching band (mid -to -late 80's). There are quite a few strong sections in it that stick in my head. Most notably, when I was in high school, for weeks this piece of music would come into my head and I didn't know where i had heard it. It was from the third movement of Emerson's Piano Concerto. My classically familiar, but uneducated ear, hears no difference in talent between this and any other classical piece I have heard.

	I only have listened to the Movement of this Piano Concerto which is included in the old ELP`s L.P. called "In Concert" (I can`t remember now which movement is included there) and I like it a lot. Emerson is a very good pianist and other keyboards player, IMO.

	I think this is the nicest (!) piece of music on "Works vol 1". Still haven't listened to it for about 10 years though.

	I think the Concerto is a great piece of music and I love the sound Emerson gets from his piano throughout. The first two movements are quite pastoral and relaxing but my favourite is the third. I remember first hearing this as a heavy rock-mad teenager in thrall to Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, and I thought it was exciting and aggressive even in comparison to them.

	Wanted it to work Waited for it to work Hoped it would work Left and came back and it still wasn't working Tried again years later and it hadn't improved It didn't work Cremated it in 1980, May it rest in Peace alongside John Lord's failed attempt in the late 60s.
