I just read that on the local news...May Greg Lake rest in peace...

Does anyone remember when they did a version of "Fanfare for the Common Man"?  That was epic...

One of my favorites...

Oh that song takes me back. My older brother introduced me to this band, one of his favorites.

I painted this sin high school of Emerson Lake and Palmer from an album cover.

You have quite a talent, Sunshine!! You've captured it with striking detail.
That's right -- we've seen some some of your drawings, paintings and artwork that you've posted.

How is the sunflower ... table? And a dresser I think you did a special process with. Can't remember what it's called now...

[sunshine]

Here they are...along with a painting of Lennon and Ono ( painted in 1971)...may he rest in peace.

WOW Sunshine!!! I remember when you were painting the sunflowers : D and the cabinet, simply gorgeous!!! The process you did (still can't remember what it's called) and love the turquoise. John and Yoko, Such de~tail! lol......how do you artists do it Greek to me :x

EL&P were very "trippy" way back in the day
somehow "lucky man" still strikes a chord

sunshine...you are an artistic golden nugget


"Lucky Man"


<!-- Usage of azlyrics.com content by any third-party lyrics provider is prohibited by our licensing agreement. Sorry about that. -->He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

[pacifica]

Good Lord I miss the old days...these songs are so haunting

Thank you....pacifica...I painted the cabinet turquoise...then I deco-paged (not sure how to spell that) my flowers I grew at my last house and photographed. Then I wiped an antique type rub all over it to age it.


I wish I would start painting again...some day I will. I have not picked up a brush other than for that table since the 70's. 


Lucky Man was my favorite!
