"You couldn’t have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances [at ‘60 Minutes’] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing.”

Happy 65th
It's Keith Emerson's birthday. I rarely listen to ELP these days, but when I was a kid it seemed like they were always on in the background.
Sadly, his carpal tunnel syndrome keeps coming back these days. Maybe from too much pounding on the keyboards instead of playing gently from a seated position?
At 2:04 in the video he inserts a bit of "Shortnin' Bread". On some versions he also adds a bit of "Turkey in the Straw". I am amazed that a British pianist would even know of these songs!
