A number of years ago I started taking piano lessons ... after a while I was developing pain in my forearm ... An orthopedist diagnosed it as a form of tendonitis - tennis elbow? - ... it worsened as I tried to continue playing piano and my piano teacher referred me to an article about Keith Emerson's arm problems ... I don't know if I would have developed the same problem, but I decided to forego the piano and stick with an arranger KB ...

It is a shame Keith couldn't come to grips with his problem, but we do not know what goes on inside someone else's brain ...
It's an even worse shame that people have to make derogatory comments without knowing the facts ...
RIP, Keith ...
