Greatly looking forward to my first ProgDay...and first experience with the prog played live, if memory serves--fun to go all in.
Also looking forward to good Greek food, interesting beverages,...

It's carnivalesque but also fairly dissonant--contradictory ideas, rather as the lyrics are in opposition to the keyboard part's jocund aspect. No judgment of quality, just an attempt to articulate.
In the wake of June 19--the day AFJP played live in Burbank, and the day Payne announced on AFJP's facebook page that he and Erik Norlander had parted ways--it could turn out that Recollections is...
The thermodynamic studies needed to formulate such strategies are daunting and at this point purely hypothetical, but surely the human component in situ will yield worthwhile results. "There is no...
First timer at ProgDay here, in with a Patron Pass. Planning on the tiered cooler approach: large one in the back of the station wagon shuttling to a smaller one at the seating area, with a couple...
I wholeheartedly agree with the ideas quoted. Uniqueness is less important than a surprise while listening. A musical surprise can be anything and can even trigger the same satisfaction during...
Is Yes the name of this lineup, or the vocal line you want to hear repeated often, and with gusto?
My Affirmative puppets would be, for initial writing sessions, Downes-Horn-Squire-White, with Horn producing. I would compel them to build song structures (led by Downes's chord choice and movement...
Many thanks, that's the info I hoped for--bought a Patron Pass, looking forward to a weekend of enjoyable music!
Marillion's "Warm Wet Circles" has always grabbed me for all the vivid emotional touchstones it holds. Probably the one that most gets me is "Feigning casual silence..." Come to think of it, that...
Never been to ProgDay, but I'm strongly inclined to buy a Patron Pass this year. Hoping someone can help with questions:
1) Is smoking allowed at Storybook Farm? If so, is it easy to find a...

The Broccoli hasn't been born who would approve that deal!
In case anyone was following this...I just found out that Crack the Sky has had to cancel this concert appearance due to medical issues.
This is an interesting twofold question, which boils down to...does making songs electronically available (e.g., on bandcamp) constitute publishing?

Anyone here have favorite examples of performances where the artist is readily identifiable despite minimal actual playing?
As an example, Jimmy Page's crystal-clear self-expression during the...
Adding to Brad's accurate sentiment...some songwriters choose to outright sell their unpublished songs to established artists, sometimes even for a flat price and no songwriting credit--which...

Anyone in the VA-DC-MD area familiar with the sadly departed Pam Bricker? She was by far my primary go-to performer for live jazz. Her album Lookin' Good, with songs (and accompaniment) by Dave...

Absolutely true as far as the public knew. In May 1977, there was an article in TIME magazine that was enthusiastic in its support of the movie, but no outcome was certain. Some reviewers at the time...

Trane, I calibrated my ProgMeter™ at the local music store, and got the following results:

D_M: I don't consider Triumph prog, either. But if there's such a thing as a ProgMeter™, on which Air Supply is a 0 and King Crimson is an 8, maybe Triumph would be a 1. Best not to speculate on what...
