Well done. ELP is one of those bands I almost never hear done on the ukulele, and now in one week I've heard this and "Still...You Turn Me On".

Very cool! Your voice reminds me of Dick Gaughan's, if you know who that is.
Ok, now let's hear you do "Tarkus"!

I do know some of Gaughan's music, sure. Tarkus! That would be something. Then I could try "The Gates of Delirium" after that. O, speaking of which, check out this dude's cover version of Yes:

Astonishing, even without a uke. That voice!

I don't have an ukulele with me, but when I go home I am to be playing that song.
Good job, and gracias for the tab.

Go for it! There's no reason you couldn't do a decent rendition of "Gates of Delirium" on uke. I've done a medley of "Supper's Ready" and "Close to the Edge". My highlight of 2012 was playing "Starship Trooper" live at a uke show, with some vocal help from a friend. Someday I hope to finish an abridged version of "Pirates" -- i was working on it a year ago, then got sidetracked. We need more prog rock uke players! "Tarkus" probably doesn't lend itself well to uke, but a couple of the sections of "Karn Evil 9" would.

Prog rock ukers! Definitely a good idea - especially an abridged version of Pirates. I'm wondering about A Salty Dog by Procol Harum too. I definitely like the last part of The Ancient Giants Under the Sun by Yes. Maybe that. But sea songs... those sound like a plan I can work on.
Procol Harum works great on uke, because their songs have good chord changes. Homburg is one of my favorite cover songs to play live. I've also played A Salty Dog: A Salty Dog
Here's a link where you can find sheet music for a lot of ELP stuff:

Really nice arrangement of Homburg. And that Salty Dog is outstanding!!! I subscribed.

That was crazy! He sounds incredibly like Jon Anderson, and I already thought it was amazing even before he started singing Steve Howe's pedal steel parts. Holy crap!

The guy is somethig else. Tim is his name.
I know a song I'd like to do - Brian May's song "'39" from A Night at the Opera. Trying it now. That is a cool tune!
