Christmas Conundrums 2003

Question of the Day : 3 January 2004

Over the twelve days of Christmas 2003, our guest-quiz questions are set by Hans Teutiger from Stuttgart, an autograph-hunter with an unrivaled knowledge of Procol gigs down the years. Please read his account below, from which you will be easily able to work where and when he got the autograph he describes.

When, and where, did I receive my tenth Procol autograph?

10) Imagine my surprise; my last shipp voyage to USA West Coast and there Procol are playing two nights in my favorite city by the bay. With me I have their latest album as always to get one Autogramm. I am expecting new orgelmeister who plays on the album but also I find new bass player. Where is Mr Copping, whom I always enjoy so greatly? But nobody can complain, except that I missed a concert on the day before in same town, and never succeeded to hear This Old Dog. Sheering taut synthesizer work from the new man, big new sound for Procol, and he places his Autogramm by his picture on shipboard on the album: neat for me, my last shipp voyage.
