New Album Trivia

[l100]

Although the new album is titled "Keith Emerson Band Featuring Marc Bonilla" the working title is a little bit more interesting.

From the Greene Room studio web site (http://www.greeneroom.com), where the album was mixed or recorded the title is credited as:

"The House of Ocean Born Mary"

Has anyone any clue as to what this refers to?

Here is a photo from the sessions

L to R: Drummer Greg Bissonette, Engineer Marc Greene, Keith Emerson, Keith Wechsler, Bud Bissonette, Guitarist Marc Bonilla, Bassist Travis Davis

Oh and interesting that it starts life a a pirate story isn't it?

Hi Markone,

Thanks for trawling this info up, it will be interesing to find out if the story inspired the long conceptual piece or one of the shorter 'lighter' pieces or if its has anything whatsoever to do with the album!

Although if stories about the meaning of 'Brain Salad Surgery' are true I am at a total loss with regard to 'The House of Ocean Born Mary'.

Still there are only 63 days to go before the speculation is over and some very lucky Japanese fans can give us all of the answers!
