Dear Allen: Thanks for the info. Progress (in all senses) is being made. One question and one statement. First, I would love to hear the compilation CD; but where can I get Progression magazine? I have checked several Borders and the Buckhead Barnesand Noble (also Chapter 11), and they don't have it. Statement: Yes, I listen to WRFG a lot. I like blues and bluegrass and worldbeat. I LOVE their almost left-wing news. (National Public Radio seemsto be moving from Normal Rockwell--Offend No One--Radio over to NationalSocialist Nazified Radio. Ugh.) So if I am not at work--that is, if it is an evening or weekend--I will certainly listen to a prog show on WRFG. I also listen to WRAS and even more to WREK. Unfortunately, I don't know anycurrent studets at either State or Tech. I once was a grad student at State, but never again.
