Progressive music probably wouldn’t even really exist if not for the people of the United States having picked up on it and nurtured it in the way they did. It really is an American form of music in the sense that it was nurtured here. So it belongs here. It has become part of the fabric of American musical culture. Greg Lake Read Quote
Lucky Man’ I wrote when I was twelve years old. I wrote it when I first was given a guitar by my mother. I only knew four chords, but I used them all to write that song. And it just stayed with me, stayed in my head. I didn’t even write it on a piece of paper. I remembered it. Greg Lake Read Quote
I don’t think art is a goal orientated business. I don’t do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I’m not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person. Greg Lake Read Quote

I picked up the guitar at 12 yrs old – basically, my mother and father bought it for me for Christmas. I played one at my friend’s house; when I say played it, I just played around with it at my friend’s house. It just struck me as something I really wanted. Greg Lake Read Quote
