Hmmm, there's still time to (ahem) convert him.  :)    As a side note, I
must say I'm quite impressed with the new PT cd as well as the new
Ozrics double-live CD.

Cool, more power to them.  Originally I had wanted to inject more
prog-metal sounds into WREKage at WREK-FM, but somehow along the way I
took a slight, dark detour.  :)   I still try to squeeze out the
occasional prog-metal gem (this past Friday was fun, with Superior, Pain
of Salvation, etc.) and I always welcome requests.  It's good to see
someone else will pick up that torch and run with it.

Tim King, who does Stonehenge prior to WREKage (c. 7-10pm Fridays, if
there's no sports event to conflict) can and does play a fair amount of
prog-rock, and has been known to play Ozrics on request, mostly because
I Ozricized him.  :)      Certainly King Crimson, Gentle Giant, etc.,
would be up his alley (I know he's played Crimson before).   I think
it's time I introduced him to Spock's Beard and Porcupine Tree, too.  :)

Stonehenge is quite popular, BTW, judging from their phone call volume.
