In Memory of Keith Emerson

[pjmuck]

A massive talent and a massive loss. An apparent suicide too. RIP to a true pioneer.

Here's an early clip of Keith with his band The Nice, doing their classic rendition of, "America". Bonus: Lee Jackson, a lefty, on bass:

From what I've read and heard through the radio, he was suffering from degenerative nerve disease that his playing, and had some kind of painful colon problem... guess he was just tired of the pain and suffering... hard way to go out though.... RIP Keith.
