@Kenny - thanks, I'm glad you liked it! While I was very much into prog during the 70s and played some in bands, I also got into jazz to an extent too on the side, mostly through my older brother who went to Berkley (very jazz oriented). I wish I could play some of that material today but it seems a bit unlikely, hence some loose phrases here and there...
@Robby - thanks! Funny you should say that - not only am I long time ELP fan but the Works tour in '77 was my first concert. Nothing like spinning Hammonds and shooting fire balls...
