That's a photo of my polytunnel at seven in the morning. I often find myself outside pottering about and watering in the polytunnel.
In August I will be seeing Rick Wakeman again when I go to Blighty.
He's a first class keyboard player and stand up comedian. I saw him with YES at The Night Of The Prog Festival in Loreley in Germany back in 2017.
Along time ago in the early nineteen seventies he played the piano on Cat Stevens 'Morning Has Broken. He also played the keyboard on David Bowie's 'Life On Mars'.
Rick is an excellent keyboard player and one of the best I have ever seen and I put him in the Keith Emerson category: superb!
Here's a song I play on my mobile phone in my polytunnel:
I saw Rick Wakeman when he was in The Strawbs and then later in Yes. He was and probably still is a very accomplished keyboard player, very adaptable too.
ReplyDeleteHe is still excellent YP. Like Keith Emerson when I saw him with ELP. I think they could be called musical geniuses.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see Rick Wakeman on TV I just wish he'd get a haircut!
ReplyDeleteGreat music, great musician
ReplyDeleteHe's a big Man City fan. Perhaps he will get his hair styled like Haaland Sue? I have read his Rock memoir books. They are hilarious and I laughed out loud reading them on Kindle.
ReplyDeleteI agree Linda. He is a national treasure and very funny when he does his stand up.
ReplyDeleteRick Wakeman is classically trained and one of the greatest keyboard players of our time. He is respectful, kind, loving, adorable and humble. He prays and he lives near me.
ReplyDeleteI needed to say this after reading the first comment which was a total understatement. I am aware that you know what I was saying but I had to say it. Somebody did.
DeleteI love your rock concert memories, life in Newcastle and your classic Mr Russian President parody and of course your art work Rachel. I don't think your poems or writing would have any word block if you dwelled on those topics. Thank you.
DeleteYou sum him up very well Rachel. Being humble is great to see in someone so famous and talented. Thanks Rachel.
ReplyDeleteRachel beat me to comment about him being a classically trained pianist.
ReplyDeleteYes Tasker he quit his studies at The Royal College Of Music and made it in the Prog Rock world.
ReplyDeleteA good place to be of a morning
ReplyDeleteIt is GZ. Even on a rainy day there is somewhere to potter about. One of our best purchases.
