My sis just played a round of mini-golf w/ Rick Wakeman

[MissMillie]

She's up in Quebec following his solo show around for 4 shows this weekend. She stayed at the same hotel, had breakfast about 20 feet away from him, and then went and played mini-golf w/ his whole band.

That's pretty cool.

1. Who's Rick Wakeman? n/t

[MissMillie]

2. probably the single greatest

keyboard player in rock in roll ever.

[ceile]

Well, then.

I will look him up. Keyboard players are so overlooked.

3. They didn't play it on ice?

:shrug:

[MissMillie]

5. LOL

nope, though I imagine in Quebec that would have been easy to arrange.

7. That is pretty awesome

I really like Wakeman. Saw him perform with Yes a couple of times and also on his Journey to the Center of the Earth tour. Damn fine musician.

The big question is, did he make it past the windmill in one putt?

[MissMillie]

14. I asked that actually

she said there was no windmill hole


now that's a shame.

9. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe

Ask them to please tour again soon. I love their band.

And if you don't know who this is then yes, you are a loser!

[MissMillie]

11. did you say

YES?

:hi:

[LynneSin]

12. 2nd real concert I ever saw

Bowie was first, Shaun Cassidy was technically the first one

[MissMillie]

13. I think the last time they toured

it was with Alan White instead of Bill Bruford

Steve Howe is amazing, as is Chris Squire... who didn't appear on the ABWH album.

10. Look here they are together!
