yorks5stringer Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 The Album by one time PP Arnold backing band The Nice called "The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack" is actually named after a real person with that name. I know this because Keith Emerson, Davy O'List ,Brian Davison and Lee Jackson have all independently corroborated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track 'War and Peace', is based on the third movement of Emerson's original epic composition which ran for some 17 hours 35 minutes in its full version.
