 Great Lake is not bad!Your mother tongue is French? You are symphatic to me  ... thank you for the link!It must have been a very amazing time with ELP backstage? I do discover other bands in 80s, e.g. the Prog-Metall Scene- and Iīm a bit fan of Heavy Metal, there are really good bands wich are not primitive like other Metal bands. But, to tell the truth, I would like to find something new... And itīs difficult. Do you have any additions for me??  |

Hello Grake,
My name is Sylvie. I live in north of Montreal. I was on Greg Lake Site since 2 years before he shut down his board. I write every day or almost on Ladies of the Lake. I am registered on prog.archives since two months now.
I saw ELP in 1977 at the Olympic Stadium with the Orchestra. I worked for Carl when he came playing in Mtl in may this year. I sold t-shirts, DVD and Cds for him, and I met him backstage and talked to him several times during this special evening. I have a nice picture of me taken with him.
If you go on GL.com site, you will see on the section One2One that Greg answered me to one of my question. I printed it on nice paper and I get his autograph on it. Enjoy.
I am trying to discover more prog.group so I won't just like only the seventies group.
You made me laugh with your user name the first time I saw it. Usually, I pronounce his name that way with my french accent: great lake...
Sylvie

Youīre Lucky, Man!
I do live in Germany... there are seldom prog groups coming to Frankfurt or Munich (I would even travel 100 km to have a concert!) so I�ve never went to a concert..  Maybe "My Time will come"... I hope so. Good to know they "progress" is coming again a bit. But I even have a problem with Prog! Last time I saw a review on "Blackmores Night" here - I was surprised that it was Prog Folk. But it actually isnīt... I do listen to Art-Rock-groups myself and I donīt want to know the difference between Symph- Prog and Art Rock and Prog- Folk and whatelse. I get Headache of this! And who is Sylvie?? Keep on progginī Edited by Grake Leg - November 04 2006 at 10:30 |

Welcome Grake.
I am a fan of Mr.Lake too. I am a member of his site since 2 years now, and I am currintly writing on Ladies of the Lake ( Greg Lake) board.
I have a daughter of 11 1/2 years old. I am trying to introduce her to prog.rock, but I find it difficult. In my car, I play my music, so for now, she listened to some Yes, ELP , Moodie Blues, Jethro Tull, and she likes to hear some songs of these groups.
From ELP, she likes Lucky Man, Pirates, Knife Edge, Still...You Turn Me On, Jerusalem, and some others.
I guess for now, she is probably too young to be able to like this kind of music, but maybe in two years from now, it would be a complete different story.
I went to several concerts this year, and I saw many teenagers with their parents attending to those concerts; Jethro Tull, Ian Gillan, Carl Palmer Band, Roger Waters, Roger Hodgson from Supertramp, and so on. Even at the prog.fest, there were some young people who attented concerts.
It's refreshing to know that the next generation will follow our steps.
Sylvie ( really old enough to be your mother...)

No not really. He usually only comments on the song he likes when I am listening to it and he is within hearing distance. Sometimes when i go to a music store he will point out a band, but only occasionally.

It was strange because he had never talked about the music he used to listen to and then when I started to listen to music he used to, he suddenly started telling me about bands I hadn't heard of.

Why surpsingly? They grew up with the good music in the 70th  Ok, it was summer and my dad tested his Subwoofer... And - first - I hated it. Too noisy! After a time I listened to one Yes- Title (It was "Donīt kill the whale) I listened carefully and somehow noticed the difference. 1 Year after that I started to play guitar - a symptom, I guess. |

Surprisingly it was my dad who introduced me to Jethro Tull. It's very strange when parents are the ones who introduce you to good music.

Hey,
You sound like me, a bit. I'm sixteen and a half, and started listening to prog when i was fourteen, thanks to some good friends. The first thing I picked up was Rush and then moved on to Jethro Tull and now, Pink Floyd.

A fellow young prog fan here.
Yes, Jethro Tull is prog, and quite good at it, too. Have you heard Thick as a Brick, it doesn't get proggier than that.
