Precisions suck! Flats suck! Tort sucks!

It's a very creepy bit of art ain't it? It on the interior of In the Court of the Crimson King.

Yes indeed. Unless you were plugged into the Brit prog scene at the time, In the Court of the Crimson King and ELP's Trilogy formed most American's introduction to prog rock back in the late '60s - early '70s.

i was as plugged in as i could get,living in Memphis,Tennessee. We actually had one of the earliest progressive radio station and DJ (Jon Scott),who played a lot of this and even earlier music. And i bought Melody Maker,and some other Brit mags at my local tobaccionist/news store.
I was already a big fan of the Nice before Keith formed ELP. I know there were many other bands going the prog path before KC,but that first album of theirs was and still is a brilliant,beautiful work.

Agree.

I lived in Connecticut. Not exactly the cultural crossroads of the music scene either. Fortunately, my sister had a pen pal over in the UK (remember pen pals?) whose brother was way into the Canterbury scene. I used to send him Doors and Jefferson Airplane LPs. He used to send me prog. That's the only way I ever knew about Nice, The Wild Flowers and all the other early manifestations of the genre along with such greats as Fotheringay, Lindis Farne, Fairport Convention, and Steeleye Span.

But being down in the real South is no barrier. The Moody's new flute player/backup vocalist Norda Mullin is from Mississippi. She's not too hard on the eyes either.

I remember a festival I went to back in '72 when I was still at school... I got to see Genesis, Focus, Lindisfarne, Alex Harvey and a whole bunch of great bands even including the Beach Boys and a live performance from Monty Python. The prog bands really did it for me though. Soon after I got to see Curved Air and Magma at local college gigs. Better than Beiber huh :)

White p with rosewood fb, dark tort and flats. That's my jam right there. The red tort isn't for me. A little too loud.

I agree that your P is punk rock. Hope it brings you joy and sings in your hands.
