Re: RIP Greg Lake
Did he do the song 'I believe in Father Christmas'?. If so, really like that one, sad to see another one gone.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

Yes he did do Father Christmas. My favorite is From the Beginning.

Re: RIP Greg Lake
You know I'm a huge Prog thank but to be honest ELP never did it for me. But still sad news all the same, especially as I believe I used to deliver Greg's papers when I was 13 years old (and not quite into Prog then so it didn't mean much to me back then). I've been researching the Bagshot area to try an confirm if he lived there to make sure it was him. I didn't I realise until many years later that at least 2 of my special YES related Prog heroes lived very close to me - Rick Wakeman was literally just up the road in Camberley and sorely missed dear old Chris Squire was just 5 stops up the line in Virginia Water.
The missed opportunities - I think I'd have made a very good anoraked, acned stalker!

I am a huge Yes fan. Second only to the Moody Blues of the sixties early seventies.

Re: RIP Greg Lake
Another Moodies fan here.
Johnny Walker had a nice tribute to Greg Lake on his show yesterday afternoon. If anybody wants to listen it will be on the BBC iPlayer.
