I wonder if this will change the ban on playing 'smoke on the water' in most guitar shops?

I used to have a music shop in Cambridge.
It was that, Stairway to Heaven or All Right Now.

Well, that tears it.
Someone has to put up a link to it now, and it might as well be me.

Don't really know who he is.
But from a few minutes of that video he already has my deep respect. Rest in peace mystery keyboard man from the past.

Top bloke
Funny how the top rock keyboard players were all classically trained pianists - Lord, Wakeman, Emerson... whereas most guitarists are self-taught. Still, he plays a wrong note at 6.09.

I think it's because playing classical piano music is *hard*
if you can do it to a decent standard you can play anything you want.

sad news...
Deep Purple Live at the BBC from way back in 1972 is definitely one of my fave rock albums. His playing is legendary.

Very sad.
The most amazing keyboard player with what remain my favourite band, Deep Purple. He gave the band it's musicality but could rock that Hammond organ like no-one else. It was sad when he retired from Deep Purple, even sadder today. RIP Jon Lord, enjoy space rockin' around the stars!
