Sometimes we need to sit back for a moment and think about others who are faced with struggles every day. I vowed that this show would not be political but hearing the story and music of Heinali from the Ukraine struck me and I decided to play a song here. The whole lineup today is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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
