  • We went visiting Hammond Organ player and collector Roberto Nazzari a couple of days ago and while I was trying out one of his splendid RT-3s he asked me to play Pilgrim's Progress. Happy to oblige!
    Pilgrim’s Progress is of course the last masterpiece Matthew Fisher recorded for Procol Harum in the 60s on the album “A Salty Dog”, a delicate and nostalgic song that always manages to evoke deep emotions.

    I sat me down to write a simple story
    Which maybe in the end became a song
    In trying to find the words which might begin it
    I found these were the thoughts I brought along
    At first I took my weight to be an anchor
    And gathered up my fears to guide me round
    But then I clearly saw my own delusion
    And found my struggles further bogged me down
    In starting out I thought to go exploring
    And set my foot upon the nearest road
    In vain I looked to find the promised turning
    But only saw how far I was from home
    In searching I forsook the paths of learning
    And sought instead to find some pirate's gold
    In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
    And still no hidden truths could I unfold
    I sat me down to write a simple story
    Which maybe in the end became a song
    The words have all been writ by one before me
    We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
    Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on

    Very nicely done Jack, a tad quick on the "bridge" just before the solo itself (G-C-B-G-C-B), but you nailed the rest of it, and the tone is gorgeous!

    Nice, Jack, one of my abs PH-favorits, so "simple", still so "Bach"; the lyrics .. so "innocent and tender". You could still improve a bit on the syncopation, though :) all the best! :)

    I was waiting for the percussive part you we’re about to go into?
    Did you record that too?
    Btw Great job, beautiful performance of a beautiful chord progression and Vocals melody. Even the lyrics are exactly perfect for this song. Like a Beatles song, nobody can improve on this song, it’s perfect as it is! You did it justice buddy.
