This is a series of posts that will talk about my favorite Keyboard players.
So far I’ve chosen, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Eumir Deodato, Gershon Kingsley, Jon Lord, Elton John, Billy Joel, Nicky Hopkins, John Paul Jones, Richard Wright, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Billy Preston. Let me chose some more to consider.
She dots her eyes with a smiley face
A work of art in all but taste
The fool deserves the bed he’s made
Where idiots slumber
I remember watching videos in 1990 and seeing “The King is Half-Undressed” by the band Jellyfish. It was like something right out of the late 60s, the band in multi-colored clothing, top hats, and parasols. Great music, harmonies, tambourines, a magic hat, a shower of bubbles, cherries, and hula hoops – what more could you want?
They go through the album, breaking down the personnel, the instruments, the sounds and more. This is a great interview of Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Keyboards, vocals, cool Flintstones T-shirt).
