Hi,

First off, welcome to the new folks who have recently subscribed to 
this list. Please send a message to the list and introduce 
yourselves! And feel free to go to the freelists.org website and 
check out the archives. Some good info has passed through this list 
in its week-long existence.

Just a check in to let you know how some things we've discussed are 
shaping up...

Many of you saw Wade's email about a compilation CD. It seems that 
Progression Magazine is willing to distribute it as an insert, along 
with write-ups on the bands. I'm sure Wade or someone will keep you 
abreast of developments on this front. This is good news!

I am playing phone tag with someone from WRFG to discuss the ins and 
outs of getting a program on the air there. A question for everyone - 
how many of you ever listen to WRFG? Most of the playlist is reggae, 
blues, worldbeat and some occasional bluegrass so it may not be up 
your alley, but I need to know if this is indeed an avenue worth 
pursuing... I really wish we could get an "in" at WREK or WRAS!!

I sent copies of our festival ideas to Steve at Variety. I saw him 
tonight at the Residents show and he seems truly interested in making 
it happen. He's going to try and come to the December meeting. This 
is also good news! Steve would be a valuable ally.

There is other stuff brewing out there, but nothing to report yet...

PS... I know at least one or two folks on this list wonder if they 
are really part of the Atlanta "prog" scene since they don't really 
think of themselves as "prog". I think we should strive to be as 
inclusive as possible when we talk about prog. That's one reason I 
use the term progressive MUSIC instead of progressive ROCK (I hope we 
can someday come up with a better name - "prog" has negative 
connotations to some people unfortunately). I see this group as open 
to people who are doing anything from traditional "progressive rock" 
to what might be called "new age" to fusion to ambient to space music 
to psychedelic to ??? In short, most any artist whose music might fit 
in to the category "none of the above"!!!
