Testing For Echo – Episode 11 – Onward! – Orig Air Date Nov 12, 2022 — Classic editor

Posted on 2022-11-12 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

This is a pretty fantastic episode, if I do say so myself. 🙂 Okay then. Now that we’ve shown that we can survive 10 episodes, let’s move on to the next 10! I’m just going to mention to my fellow RUSH fans that even though RUSH is not listed in the usual way in the

Testing For Echo – Episode 9 – What a Lineup! – Orig Air Date Oct 15, 2022

Posted on 2022-10-15 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

Wow. I’m almost at a loss for things to say about today’s lineup. It’s so diverse! I’m sure there are some who may wonder if everyone here is Prog Rock, and I understand that. But, I have done my research and homework and what you see here has Prog connections somewhere. Even though they may

Testing For Echo – Episode 8 – Let’s Loosen Up – Orig Air Date Oct 1, 2022

Posted on 2022-10-01 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

I’d like to think that we’ve lightened up this show a little bit. I’ve also raised the level of class with one of music’s classiest dudes, Bryan Ferry. Plus, Kate Bush has defined classy for years. A local chap Marcello Ciurleo has reached out to me with some great songs he has done. I’ve included

Testing For Echo – Episode 7 – Some New, Some Old, Some Odd, And A Message – Orig Air Date Sept 17, 2022

Posted on 2022-09-17 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

This is a perfect example of not judging things by a name. Initially when I hear a band name like Spooky Tooth or Mahogany Frog I’m thinking “Really??” But guess what? In this episode you’re going to hear that these cats with the bizarre names are really pretty good! I’m also very happy to share

Hello again friends. I hope that you are well. I really liked doing this episode. I think I’m starting to get the hang of this. I don’t think I mentioned this before but this radio thing is completely new to me. There is quite a lot to learn. I admire the folks who do this

Testing For Echo – Episode 5 – Changing It Up – Orig. Airdate 2022-20-08

Posted on 2022-08-20 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

This episode is one of my favourites to date. It just feels different. You’ll see what I mean. A couple of days ago I was listening to Episode 3 and came to a realization. When I’ve been recording these shows I’ve had papers and notes all over the place and I was practically reading a

Testing For Echo – Episode 4 – Keeping it Interesting 2022-08-06

Posted on 2022-08-06 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

There’s something that I’d like to confess to whoever reads this. It’s about the Progressive Rock music I play for the show. I don’t love all of it. Really. I do love most of it though. However, even if it’s something that I wouldn’t play when I’m resting or driving in my car I do

Posted on 2022-07-09 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

If you enjoy Canadian content you’re really going to like the next couple of episodes. I’ve been doing a whole lot of digging into a whole lot of great music. Canadian or otherwise. I’m sure you knew that RUSH was going to make an appearance soon. They’re in here. Do you remember Nash The Slash?

Testing For Echo – Episode 1 – Remembering Canadian Prog Rock Pioneers – NIGHTWINDS

Posted on 2022-06-25 by Tim Scammell Posted in General, Testing For Echo

Many years ago in 1978 the band NIGHTWINDS was hired to play my school, A. Y. Jackson Secondary School in North York, Ontario. At the time I was already worshipping RUSH but had not fully delved into Progressive Rock yet. I had not heard music like theirs before but I knew that they were fantastic
