Keyboard Legend JON LORD - "I Am Now Moving Towards Doing More Live Work"
May 15, 2008, 16 years ago
Legendary keyboardist JON LORD (ex-DEEP PURPLE) has issued the following update:
"Hi everyone,Just a quick couple of things.
First and foremost, thank you all so much for the questions and the very kind and sometimes moving comments you have posted on the website. From people who have seen me play lately, from people who’ve not seen me for a while and from those who’ve never seen me at all - they are all gratefully recieved.
I’m happy that you are enjoying Durham Concerto, Boom Of The Tingling Strings And Disguises. They, amongst other works, have occupied my time pretty much from the year in which I left the Purps.
Although I am still writing like a man possessed, I am now moving towards doing more live work - both with orchestras and also with a JON LORD BAND project which will include more Hammond (+ second keys, guitar, bass, drums, percussion and a sing-ist), some new stuff, and one or two carefully selected songs from the past that I had a small part in writing!
I hope too that I will soon be able to answer some of your questions specifically - such as 'When are you coming to such-and-such a place?' and so on. I will try to make my comments to the site a more regular thing too.
In the meantime, stay well and keep the music with you.
God bless, Jon."
