A
huge welcome to everyone!
 |
Thanks
for logging on to the site and I do hope you enjoy what you see
here.
It has taken a great deal of effort to assemble all the information
and graphical content contained on this site and I would not only
like to personally thank Bruce Pilato for his relentless commitment
to making the site what it is, but also to Streamteam for their
extraordinary talent and patience in making it a reality.

There
are many things for you to look at and I hope that some of them invoke
happy memories of the time we have spent together over the years. I would
also encourage anyone who has spent time at an ELP or King Crimson show
to
add their memories to the archive. This is not only important to me
personally, but also serves as a permanent record of one of the most
extraordinary moments in rock and roll music history. Please take part,
as
without you there would have been no history worth recording.
Over
the coming months I will be writing a message every week or so as time
allows, in an effort to keep the site active and fresh. It is my intention
that this message be of a personal rather than a strictly professional
nature. I will therefore be opening up some of my personal thoughts
regarding things such as the current state of world affairs, my views
upon
the music business and indeed any other thing which I consider may be
of
interest to both myself and to you and of course to all the people I have
come to know throughout musical life.
Upon
reading these messages, I would ask everyone to understand that I am in
no way trying to assume any sort of political platform. I am a musician
and
only a musician. The things that I may discuss from time to time are merely
the opinions of one person put forward to another. They should carry no
more,
or no less weight than any opinions you may hold yourself, or that any
other
person may have. They are personal and for your own consideration. Needless
to say, you can respond by way of the message board which incidentally
I do
try to read at least every other day. Please understand that it would
be
impossible for me to answer every posting, but I will definitely read
them
and answer them if appropriate whenever possible.
We
are coming up to Christmas, the world is not at peace and it bothers me
greatly. There are things in the worlds affairs that need to be addressed
and
the root causes of these unrests are complicated. My feeling is that during
the Christmas holidays we should all reflect on how valuable life is and
that
justice for all is really the only acceptable path.
I
wish everyone the very best Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
May God bless you and keep you and your family safe.
Yours
Truly,
Greg
Lake.
