Another one gone. Jeez I can't wait for this year to be over. It been a horror show for music.

From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never yield

The Bayou



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

69 seems to be a cursed number because both Alan Rickman and David Bowie also died at that age.

Damn. Saw ELP around 1979. One of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of bands over the years.

Oh man, the first concert I ever went to was ELP Brainsalad Surgery tour when I was 15 in 1973. Got in for free too by using a bus pass as a ticket. Some girls shoved another girl's bus pass in my locker at school and it was the same color as my friend's ELP concert ticket so gave them that at the door and it worked. LOL

That was one of the loudest concerts I have ever been to. Was down on the floor near the front and my ears were ringing for 20 minutes after the concert finished.

R.I.P. Greg, and thanks for the free concert.

A boyhood friend passed Dec 4 - was 69. Another who I grew up with, and his wife, murdered by their son a couple of weeks ago. He was 69.

In 6 months will be safe.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.
