welcome, Kona... we hope you enjoy the site... you are definately in the right place for ELP fans; they are coming out of the woodwork in this place!!! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Hello mate, aswell as being into ELP are into mountain biking (Kona?) British columbia - a fine province if ever I visited one. Had a fine time in your country; was there for a year and really enjoyed it. I'm also a drummer, trying to make it in a band, we're getting more prog but started out a more straightforward. If it doesn't come off then I'll still be drumming for the rest of my days. I think it is the most rewarding instrument to play - the physical satisfaction of a line combined with the sonic - unbeatable. Anyways, this site is very cool. Peace out... |

Thanks for the notes (Danbo, Fandango and Stormy Teacup). I've been away from the site for awhile - my appologies. No - I don't do any mountain biking here in BC. My username comes from a race I went in back in 1984 - Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii. It was another life ago, but a great experience. I don't have a drum "kit" anymore, but I still have my Valje bongos and congas (Quinto, Conga, Tumba and Super Tumba) that I bought in Vancouver in 1977 and that is my introduction to my little ELP moment: I was in Vancouver to add two more congas to my collection of Valje drums and to go to see the ELP concert at the Pacific (PNE) Colliseum) July 29th. As I parked out in front of the music store, "Drums Only!," I noticed a limo parked out front. When I walked into the store - there in front of me - looking through a sheet music rack - was my favorite drummer, Carl Palmer! Greg Lake was running around the store with a Drums Only! tee shirt on and sporting a new look - very short hair. There was a bodyguard there too. When I walked toward Carl the bodyguard quickly started toward me, but Carl checked me out with a quick look and nodded to the guard not to approach. I spoke briefly to Carl - who was very polite to me, but I remember he looked pretty intense - he had a lot on his mind then I'm sure. The concert was great (even without the full orchestra).
Cheers,
Gary ------------- Drumming........... |
