Anyone see Greg Lake on Ch. 4 last night, twas about christmas songs and his number one hit. I know nothing bout ELP but they seem bloody weird. Lake sat in the middle of the desert sourounded by camels and Bedouins? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Bodins/?chartstyle=DarkSide5Big">

I think part of Greg Lakes video for that song was shot around Mount Sinai and also around the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.. Perhaps an ELP expert can confirm..

It's not Lake Windermere - it's just Windermere (mere means "lake" anyway). There is only 1 lake in the Lake District called "Lake" and that's Bassenthwaite. Not a lot of people know that! |

Technically speaking, it would probably be Loch Greg. |

This forum is so educational, I love it The next time anyone says 'Lake Windemere' I shall immediately correct them, and take great pleasure in appearing to be very clever.... ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

In Ireland he'd be Lough Greg. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Yep, it's fun being a smartarse. Mind you, even the BBC call it "Lake Windermere". |

Pete Sinfield was on it too. I never realised Robert Fripp's other half Toyah Willcox covered Greg Lake's tune. It's a mini-Crimson thing going on. More King Crimson than ELP I'd say, what with the Peter Sinfield co-writing. -------------
