"ages ago" as a young keyboardist, I derived much inspiration from Keith Emerson, as did countless others.
I remember reading an interview with Mr. Emerson, in which he spoke of some of his influences as being Grieg, Berlioz, Bartók, and Don Shinn.
I remember thinking: "who is this Don Shinn, and how could he rank among these amazing composers?"
Just one listen and you can hear the roots of a lot of other prog rock organists.
I think that you're awesome Mr. Shinn!
Cheers, Hanon.
Hanon for drawing our attention to this pioneer
