Not a prog relevant thing, but he was at the top in the same years of prog and my memory of him has Pink Floyd, ELP and YES as soundtrack ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Not exactly prog indeed, but he recorded this one single. It reached #21 in the Dutch top 40 in april 1969. It hit the charts in Basque Country in 1974. -------------

Legend. Brilliant footballer and manager (Probably the greatest European footballer of all time). ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

My first memory of him was the first football match I attended. My dad took me with him to De Meer (the Ajax stadium in those days). Johan Cruijff was a newbie in the selection back then and not yet out of his teens (it was 1965/66 or so). My father noticed his remarkable talents back then. He was elected the Sportsman of the 20th Century by the local newspaper near the end of that period. -------------

I'm defintely not the expert some of you all might be... but I definitely agree with that. Greatest of the European greats. One that even the ignorant, as I was of the time in the 70's of the beautiful game, knew of and respected. Along with Pele of course. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
