for ELP to compose their version of his work. Can you imagine having such an icon checking your homework, so to speak?

...I learned this note for note when I was 16. My dad had a Hammond organ in the living room.
I had to leave out the synth parts, though. I had access to one, but I didn't own it so I only got to use it once in a while.
I don't think I learned anything else by Emerson (or Wakeman, for that matter) despite worshipping at their altars.
Something about Hoedown made me learn it.
