RIP Greg Lake

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

the year almost ends and we loose another star,

Greg Lake was so much more than a chap who wrote one of the best ever Christmas songs ever

his career spanned amazing bands such as King Crimson and ELP. Fusing rock with classical music , one of the originators of Prog Rock

a sad loss

I believe in Father Christmas , with parts from one of my favourite pieces of classical music Troika from Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé Suite,

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I ended up posting this in Scotland as I couldn't find a lounge thread...

I liked his response to a letter in The Guardian about Christmas songs. He urged us all to request "I Believe in Father Christmas" so that he could afford his own island... and invite us all to join him there.

It is a certainty.
