    It’s a beautiful song, isn’t it, Buddha12 ? It’s one of the top ten funeral songs, but did you know that she used the word “Angel” as a metaphor for drugs. She’s an atheist. The song is about the Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboard player Jonathan Melvoin, who overdosed on heroin and died in 1996.

    I didn't know that , thanks for the information. The words are so beautiful and heart warming that I have enjoyed listening to it for many years now. I've always enjoyed the blues and other sincere tunes as I have posted many here already.

    Here's a macabre interpretation of Season of the Witch by those hideous freaks, Vanilla Fudge. Bwa ha ha ha.

    And here's a scary thought: stab your own organs. Hammond B-3s, Moogs, that kind organ. But hey, it's permitted this time of year. This is Keith Emerson in Belgium (where just about anything is permitted year 'round

    or so I've heard ):

    it's a parody on the once-radical Blue Rondo a la Turk, from that earlier Cold War relic, Dave Brubeck (who taught a lot of young musicians how to groove on asymmetrical meter). I think Emerson is maybe bringing home the way he loves to massacre mainstream and even radical music. He goes right into a jaunty circus sounding rendition of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker (Nutrocker) evolving into a little Mapleleaf Rag leading to a rock style 16 bar blues jam which I think gets you from one circus to the other which seemed to be concept back in the day.

    If you make it through a few minutes of this, to where Emerson strums the piano strings like a harp, you'll get the more pensive ballad Take a Pebble featuring that distinctive sound of former King Crimson vocalist Greg Lake, but Emerson tears this up at the break with a solo that has Keith Jarret written all over it. I wonder. It drifts into a hillbilly sound, and after several migrations they get a jazz fusion sound going - finally converging back to the Lake singing the last verse or two of Take a Pebble.

    And so on. Bwa ha ha.
