Hi All. Don't know if you've seen Tony Ortiz's blog with this, but there is some good stuff in here. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=85886148&blogID=426925332
In addition to talks of Emerson's new album and the prognosis for an ELP tour, there were these items of particular interest.
First is a guy playing Eruption on flute, which makes me realize the endless possibilities with Jak if we ever wanted to put an interesting spin on a song. Jak, ever tried Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" ? ;)

Then there is this Pirates video, which I think we saw in progress some time ago.

Turns out, I know of the guy who created this. Rik Pepe and I started corresponding around the time the Box Set was going to be released and actually was nice enough to send me a tape for a preview (actually "pre-listen") of the remakes before the Box Set was even released. We met briefly a couple of years later at an ELP/Tull show. If any of you guys know Rik or have come across him on myspace, etc. please forward his info to me. I'd like to catch up and say hi.
Thanks!
