[Heeplist] Keith Emerson

[Steve Smith]

Hi Chris,

Sad things happen in life and what we will never know is what was going on in his mind. Did he have personal or financial troubles?

I think he was a great keyboard player and showman. I liked ELP and saw them twice in the 70s. I liked progressive rock but always favoured Heep, purple Zep etc
