    God, I can't believe it! Rachel is the very reincarnation of Keith Emerson! Even her improvisations sound like Keith's own creations. I love, from the bottom of my heart, Rachel's reconstructions of ELP's music. Thanks, Rachel!

    Beautiful work Rachel and band... you never fail to meet and exceed the standards set by ELP. Moreover as Greg Lake once said in a conversation at one of his last concerts attended, they wanted folks to connect through their music, to come together and enjoy and learn about classical music also, and all in the midst of these larger than life arrangements. You did that here for me where I connected with you and the audience to see the music alive in your fingers! Great Job!
