Peter Sinfield (1943-2024)

used to be able to recite his lyrics from memory...

I did a photo collage project on the lyrics to "Epitaph" in high school (and got an A on it!).  RIP.  He did interesting work with King Crimson in that magical era.

"I Talk to the Wind" was my motto at the one party I went to in HS. 21st Century Schizoid man constantly ran through mt mind whenever i spoke to the neurosurgeon who removed my tumor this summer with a DaVinci Robot. I was lucky it was benign. "Epitaph" should be the theme song for the next four years...RIP, Mr Sinfield

If we make it, we can all sit  back and laugh, but I fear tomorrow I'll be cry-ing, Yes I know to-mor-row I'll be cry-ing.

Amen.  9 million views on youtube, wonder if half of them are from the last 10 days.  For the uninitiated:

RIP Pete

found his book of whimsical lyrics/poetry sometime in the mid 70s (well after I had been exposed to KC)

Yep, Pete Sinfield & Andy Hill writing/composing collaboration (1980) with more to follow

Big fan of his work with KC and ELP. Watched a tribute to PS on YouTube recently which drew to my attention his solo album “Still” which I don’t think I’d ever listened to before. Reminds me in places of early Tim Buckley.
