=-> Quoting MICHAEL DOYLE to MARTIN RIDGLEY:
 MD> Fripp also claims "to have found Greg Lake sweeping up in a washroom,
 MD> and singing."  He liked his voice, and also claims to have taught him
 MD> "everything he knows about the guitar & bass."
 MR>   Hmmm... where did these quotes come from?  
 MD> Rolling Stone - where else?  Fripp was on a rant at the time, back 
 MD> in the early 70's.  He was noticably bitter at the success of ELP.
 
   Okay yeah, that makes sense.  So, he was probably exaggerating a bit.
 I'm sure he might have helped Lake on the bass, but I understood that 
 he was already a fairly competent guitarist when he joined KC.
   Anyway, I never saw that interview, but I'm not surprised at Fripp's 
 bitterness.  I don't think he liked ELP, mainly for musical reasons,
 but I'm sure it also bothered him that Lake's career took off with 
 that project.
