The Great Gates of Kiev- Emerson, Lake & Palmer
UTube ^ | 3/8/2022 | Me

Heard this today and though it was appropriate to post. Always admired how Greg Lake was able to sing these great songs in concert and chew gum at the same time

Nice, but Brain salad surgery seems more appropriate for Brandon.

WOW! So you wrote this?
I see you’ve listed yourself as the author of this content.
That’s AMAZING! When did you write this?
Was it hard for you to have created this content?
Can you outline your creative process?

Surely since you’re the author of it you must have many insights into it’s creation.

I was thinking about the Keith Chapman version on the Wanamaker organ today.

Both the ELP and the Chapman vinyls came out in 1976, and we decided to use Promenade for our 1976 wedding processional, and Great Gates of Kiev for the recessional.

The only problem with GGK in the present conflict is that its composer was 100% Russkie, the Mossourgsky family being one of those close-to-the-Tsar types.

Have you told Mr. Wanamaker about these obscene thoughts?

I'd suggest you stop trying to claim credit for material you had nothing to do with.

Afterwards, you might look into capitalization and punctuation.

Have a great day, you amazingly flawed person.

As a long-time pianist/organist for many weddings - What a great idea for processional/recessional music! We used music from Handel's Water Music, etc.

I claimed nothing- this is obvious for people with at least two working brain cells. Understandable you continue your protest.

ELP has some incredible songs. Lately i had been stuck on Tarkus- listened to it daily for more than a month.

Great Gate of Kiev. Played the 2nd trumpet part in the 11th grade. High school concert band. Played the 1st trumpet part 12th grade. The music was possibly about the building of a hydroelectric plant, and then with the water level at the top, the spillway doors were opened to let the water flow over for a photo opportunity commencement.

Well sure you did. Who wrote "Me" there? Was it you?

UTube ^ | 3/8/2022 | Me

Not only are you unable to spell "Youtube" but you
claim to be the author of things you had nothing to do with.

You're an awful person.

You ought to be in jail.

Yes- i spelled it like that purposely- most people with a spec of common sense could see this. When you switch to decaf tomorrow please don’t skip out on taking your daily meds- again.
