In the passing of Keith Emerson today Sleepy Hollow mourns the loss of this musical icon in rock history. Here is Joe Dell to say a few words. "Well, he was one of the 3 greats, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman being the other two, of which I was honored to be compared to in a write up. That being said, I have been a fan of Keith's since I was a teenager. The first album I owned was Brain Salad, like most. His incredible playing stood out and he was the sound and musical core of ELP and eventually I owned the whole collection along with The Nice where he does a killer job on America and the beautiful piano in Hang on to a Dream. I always said, Jon Lord was the greatest on the Hammond, Rick Wakeman was the greatest on the synth and on piano no one came close to Keith Emerson. Just listen to his solo on Welcome Back My Friends. I actually bought a Leslie speaker from Keith's NY Hammond tech. He told me about the class act Kieth was. He has left us with a library of top shelf music and raised the bar high for all other keyboard players in rock. God rest."
