At a wedding years ago I got to play a few songs with Bob Margolin and PineTop Perkins. I wasn't really nervous. Just in awe that I could get to play with people I worship musically.

Ron,
For once on this forum I'm at a loss for words, 'cept to say..
Played with Keith?!!!!
Awesome!
Howlin'

Woaaaaaah!!!

That's awesome brother! Very exciting!

.

Here a picture of us after the first night of playing with Keith



Me , Mystic Bowie , Keith Emerson

Cool !!

Yeah, leave it to me, but someone's gotta say it!

Either Mystic Pizza is really short, or you're like Lurch, Ron!

You playing with Keith would be like me playing with Lennon or McCartney or John Kay or someone, man. You must be on top of the world, getting to jam out with one of the power-idols of your youth!

I am in awe of your accomplishments, not the least of which is the ability to lug around a B3!!!!

Two BIG thumbs up to ya, man!

That's one cool pic Prevost.

Last night we had gig at a restaurant and live music venue.

Keith Emerson was in the audience and I knew it. I never get nervous on stage ... but Keith's presents rattled me. Then in the middle of a raggie groove (I'm on tour with a reggie artist) a hand flies passed me and starts playing my snyth while I was playing the Hammond. Keith and I seg-wayed into some Prog Rock jam over the reggie groove for about 10 mins and I started to settle down and play like I now I can ... I was fine after that.

I knew I was going to be playing with Keith on Thursday Night, we are doing Fanfare for the Common Man and Lucky Man and wasn't nervous about that at all, but have Keith in the audience, listening to my playing ... What can I say the guy was a GOD back in my Prog Rock days (early 70's) and still is in my eyes.

The film crew that is on tour with us caught the action ... but I don't expect to see any footage for a while.

Hey Phil .. Mystic is short, I'm only 6'.

I retired my B3 year ago, it stays home ... I play a Hammond XK3 Pro System (2-manuals) each manual weights around 35 lbs. The Leslie is the only heavy thing in my rig ... but I have it on wheels so I can shlep all my gear myself.
