Cheers, Marc! Great interview! For such a stellar keyboard "god," he was remarkably humble and likeable! I especially loved hearing about his and Keith Emerson's friendship and respect for one another. Would have paid handsomely to watch them perform together! Oh, well...maybe in another life!

Wow! I can only imagine how hard it was to not totally geek out during that interview!

I was happy at the end that I told him how much his music had meant to me.
