Isn't that Nice?

Today in Rock History, in 1944, Keith Emerson was born in Todmorgen, England. Best known for his work with Emerson, Lake and Palmer, he was also known for doing terrible things to a Hammond organ in his first band, the Nice (oh it breaks my heart, to see those stars, smashing a perfectly good – do I have to spell it out for you?) Further proof that Hammonds are truly indestructable. Check out this bit of mayhem, thanks to http://www.bgo-records.com/today/today_in_rock_history.htm and http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Emerson, and keep on rockin'!

Fun! At first it reminded of Tap:

MARTY: Do you feel that in collaboration with David, that you are afforded the opportunity to express yourself musically the way you would like to?

NIGEL: Well, I think I do you know in my solos. My solos are my trademark.

But then I actually did enjoy so go figure! :-)
