Father Christmas may be my favorite Christmas tune.

Keith Emerson first in March. Now Greg Lake. Wow.

It bvaffles me that he also died at age 69. Is 70 becoming th old rocksatrs variation of the "Club 28"???

Mick Jagger just sired his 8th kid at age 73

I'm really sad about this...ELP is in my top 5 for sure, and to hear another of my favorite musicians has passed, just makes me realize not only they, but I am getting older, and time is passing, REALLY fast.


On another note, I hate to sound all conspiracy theory, but this is the third bass player/singer to die from a medical illness in a year. Lemmy, Squire, Lake. And I think it was cancer in all three.
