I've told ya'll how I keep encountering young musicians who are toatlly
influenced by prog. We're long past the punk anti-prog backlash now. I
remember when I was a kid, discovering cool things in old big band
records, not mention classical (thanks to groups like ELP holding my
hand into the world of classical). I think the newest generation is
finding the same kinds of things in prog we found in big band jazz &
classical.

Make sure you all tell folks to come to THIS years Rogue fest!
