Procol Harum live
Saturday, March 19th, 2005 | Personal | No Comments
Went and saw Procol Harum live yesterday with my father and brother. Gary Brooker, one of the key figures in the band, is now 60 years old, but despite the years passing he still had a great grasp on the vocals, with but a few exceptions (he was out of key a couple of times, but nothing major). We got to hear two of the long-standing favourites of mine, namely Conquistadors and the ever loved A Whiter Shade of Pale, the latter of which brought the progressive rock band to the top of the charts back in 1967. Definitely a great experience to see the band behind some of the songs I’ve listened to live.

A while back Sara Ford offered up “I love Visual Studio Core” t-shirts for people who wanted to contribute a bit of code for the Visual Studio 2005 PowerToys. Not passing up the chance for a t-shirt, I contributed code to a zoom control. Now the add-in is stored on gotdotnet, so good luck finding a time when it isn’t crashed in some way.
For the interested parties, there’s a photo of the shirt on my floor, here…
