Does anyone out there in net-land know what has happened to the great Keith Emerson? The last I heard he had gotten together with Percy Jones (The excellent bassist for Brand X) and was auditioning vocalists for his their band. This was about a month ago. If anyone else knows more about this, please respond. It would be great to see him back in action. I saw E.L.P. twice (back in '77 and '78) and was thoroughly amazed. There has never been a performer quite like Emerson. Hopefully there are a few other E.L.P. fans out there. What do you say?. Jimmy Page is also supposably making a comeback (but he was never really down, only resting). He apparently enjoyed his token appearances this past year (The Ronnie Lane benefit concert, and an encore ("Stairway to Heaven") with Robert Plant) enough to assemble his own band also. This would also be terrific. Page, like Emerson, puts everything he's got into a performance. They both recently turned 40, but that should be no deterrent. Any Led Zep fans out there? Any other info would be appreciated. Goodnight... James Walter Reid
