I've only just found about about the demise of One-Eye, having been out of the Procol Harum loop for the best part of the last decade.
It reminded me that I
once wrote an Ode to One-Eye aka Beyond the Al
based on Beyond the Pale
which I think I gave to one of the PH line up back in 2008-ish
(but I'm not 100% on this!).
Amazingly I have found that too. It seems to have lasted well
except for the bit about 'thirty grand' which he once told me,
but which must need some updating. Did they ever play it for
him? Or were they waiting for his hundredth appearance?

the Al Who will search for shades of pale? over seas and off the rails? Who will fly from LA’s light to the darkest Europe night? Who will fork out thirty grand? Who will stand up for the band? Who will write and write and write put the sceptics all to flight? Who will sit in theatre stalls Music clubs and concert halls Wherever tickets go on sale For A Whiter Shade of Pale? Who will follow where they go? Eastern bloc to Tokyo? Who will come to every night list the list and write the write? Who will fork out thirty grand? Who will stand up for the band? All those gadgets on his wrist yes it's Allen Edelist... Who will fork out thirty grand? who will stand up for the band? Here's some news just in from Spain Yes it's Juan Eye once again (shout) One Eye! |
