In reply to Mike Highbury:

Seem to be so many musicians from my youth dying this year

In reply to Rob Naylor:

Welcome back my friend to the show that never ends

In reply to Mike Highbury:
It isn't a bad epitaph. if you actually listen to the lyrics it's a damn good one.

I guess the alternative is something like Lucky Man which is.. not so good

In reply to toad:

Not sure who wrote it, but Greg Lake played on Epitaph (the King Crimson version)

In reply to Rob Naylor:

Here's a better version youtube.com/watch?v=U6-PAKOt7sM&

I believe confusion was supposed to be his epitaph, but I just feel rather sad about it all.

In reply to Rob Naylor:
I would prefer to remember him for this

In reply to Rob Naylor:

There have been various videos of him about today, and although he was primarily known as a guitarist/bassist, he didn't half have a pair of lungs on him!

In reply to Pursued by a bear:

Excellent! Thanks for that. Ian Anderson from Tull too.

In reply to keith-ratcliffe:



Yes, that is more like it. Great voice, great music.

In reply to mac fae stirling:

Boz Burrell singing on that version, GL left in 1970.

In reply to Rob Naylor:

Thanks for the music Greg.

(I'm beginning to hate 2016, but I cannot imagine 2017 will bring many laughs either.)

In reply to Mike Highbury:


Well it's certainly not my favourite by a long chalk, but it is probably his best known "to the general public" so I thought it was more appropriate than a link to some of his ELP or King Crimson songs, especially considering the time of year.

In reply to keith-ratcliffe:


Except I don't think that's Greg Lake singing.

It's Greg on this version, for sure:
