Keith Emerson

ELP was an influence on my career as a lifelong music educator. I still enjoy listening to your fantastic technique and artistry. You were amazing.

Dear Keith, still cant believe that you are not among us anymore. Meanwhile we have to witness a terrible war in Europe between Russia and Ukraine. So in order to protest it and honoring you at the same time I played "The Great Gates Of Kiev" from "Pictures At An Exhibition" at a demonstration against the war in my home town. I wish you could have been present. Thats one part of my attempt to keep your music alive. Thank you for all youve done for music!

Your keyboard magnificence was phenomenal and astounding. You made people happy and influenced their lives in a positive way. Never forgotten my friend.

Dear Keith,
another year is gone and youre still missed. But I promise to play your music as often as possible to keep it alive. And one day in the near future I will visit your grave to walk down memory lane. Thanx for your great music.

Keith, you are still sorely missed. Your legacy lives on as we continue to keep your memory alive, your music in our hearts and souls, and your love for all of us by our sides. May God keep you in his loving care.

God rest your soul, Keith. You are the king of progressive rock and my idol. Rest peacefully, my friend.

Dear Keith,
now its already 2 years since you passed away and its so many years ago when you inspired me with your innovative approach to music. Since then I have transcribed so many pieces that you wrote or performed and I have played so many of those parts that you once played. Thanx for all those inspirations. You were far ahead of your time.
