Just be prepared for it to be accompanied by a fairly tacky tourist strip.

Very sad to hear of the death of one of the, if not the, greatest keyboard player of all time......
Keith Emerson.

Yeah Suity, he was class.

Still get chills when the opning strains of Fanfare For The Common Man start up. Did you read that apparently that recording was a first take in the studio, the other guys just joined in over the top of the tune Emerson was noodling around on, never having rehearsed it?

71 years is a fairly good innings for someone involved in the music scene of the 70s and onwards.

Leaving 2 April. Living for 6 weeks in Pittsburgh will be a challenge. Need to plan for as many things to do as possible for the weekends. Doing a New York weekend definitely. Also Niagra. Any other places around Pittsburgh please let me know. I trust you guys more than trip advisor.

Was 'Fanfare' used as the starting music for one of Rex Mossop's league shows in the early 80s?

EDIT: NO, I'm an idiot. It was 'Theme From Shaft' by Isaac (the Chef) Hayes.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

. Also Niagra.

Yep, definitely pack it.

Definitely Ch 7 tennis coverage. Could easily have been used for an intro to a Rex show on the same channel... can't remember how they started the Controversy Corner segement?

 

[phantom eel]

Ah yes, Shaft for the Ch 7 rugby league telecasts. The 10min version of the track is just great.

Was thinking of you when I saw this image the other day.

2016 Niagra with 1969 Niagra below. :lol: We packed for snowmagedon in New York and El Nino ensured that it was hardly beanie weather. Best laid plans etc..

Does Winx know how to lose? Nice run

Maybe once, but not anymore. Nice is an understatement.

And bloody William Hill would go on the blink when I'm trying to back Capitalist! :x

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Our betting syndicate just missed out on over $1000 from a $15 bet. We just needed 4th placed horse from the slipper to place. Oh well next week.

 

[Twizzle]

[eels81236]

Good day. Backing Winx isn't gambling it is collecting. Couldn't believe I could get 9.00 for capitalist. He pulled up sore after the todman. Forget that run and he was the class horse.
