Testing For Echo – Episode 1 – Remembering Canadian Prog Rock Pioneers – NIGHTWINDS
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 and I liked it a lot.
They were the nudge I needed to become a Prog Rock fan.
And then I never saw them again…
Several years ago I did some searching around the internet and met up and became friends with former NIGHTWINDS keyboardist Gerald O’Brien.
Gerald had given me a few details here and there of the band’s history but I wanted to hear it all.
And finally, we have it. Gerald has sat down with me and told the amazing story of NIGHTWINDS. It’s even better than I imagined.
This is long but well worth the listen.
Episode Song List:
- We Were The Young
- Crude Exports
- Ivy
- The Pirates of Rebecca’s Choice
- Out ‘n’ About
- Sad But True
- As the Crow Flies
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Sometimes I wonder where my naming conventions come from, but to be entirely honest with you I’m fairly certain it’s nothing more than picking a name randomly out of a hat. Beyond that, however, I do have this carefully hand-picked bouquet of songs for you to listen to, and if you don’t want to listen to them I’m really confused as to how you even got here in the first place.
Is this tsundere?
Anyway, playlist:

The Woods – Reignwolf (ft. Brad Wilk | Single)
Secret Place – Black Fate (Ithaca)
Taking Flight – The JB Conspiracy (The Storm)
