Hurrah for my favorite band!... well one of them - and a nice excuse to post one of my favorite soul-tunes (which some of you may hate, but listen to that arrangement!)

Not every day you get a rehearsal resulting in something like KC, the planets must have been properly aligned on that day Thumbs Up

It's Crimson History Month, or should that be year? Happy 50th.

The rest, as they say, is history. Great band.

Here's a cool way to celebrate...likely the earliest recorded video of the band (from the Rolling Stones 7/5/69 Hyde Park show).  Fripp is nowhere to be seen, guess the cameraman didn't realize the guy sitting on the stool was very important LOL

I don't think anyone expected the band's lineup to Fracture as much as it did right after their debut album, even if it turned out to be one the band's greatest strengths.
