Had to give a presentation on Keith Emerson as part of my course this week, and I came across this young lady who is obviously a BIG Emo fan. Someone needs to give her a C3!

Yeah, I had that reiteration percussion effect on my Lowrey as a kid....maybe if id ran it through 3 preamps, a valve poweramp, a fuzbox, then into a small dog.....no, that's not gonna work either.

If I'm correct there was a news report about her, when she was 3 years old she could play Beethoven and other classical artists by ear without any training whatsoever.

It's all pretty impressive. Since she's blind, Tarkus especially so, not only with technique but with manipulation of the organ to achieve different sounds.

Her organ has some type of controller ribbon on it which she uses in her Pictures at an Exhibition video. She really tries to approximate a lot of Emerson's Moog sounds.

He's well aware of her. He posted a bit on his Facebook page about her. Apparently some musical instruments were stolen from her and he was describing her talent and gathering support for her after the incident.

very cool in all regards! She's amazing.
OT - just thinking about the capabilities technology has provided...we can view/hear video & audio performed by someone most of us would never have heard (if not for internet, etc.) or had chance to appreciate their talent. Youtube can keep me glued for hours watching old vintage bands at their best - ELP included!
