Thanks for the wonderful words, Melissa! It was a great first gig, all bugs aside, and we are excited to keep on moving forward! :) Great to meet some of you too (WideOpenEars) !! ;)

Third one is my favorite as well, but I love all three.
My 2nd favorite Rush album, behind Permanent Waves. Love it.
Wonderful pics, hon. :)
QFT.....
Spot on.
Told you that argument wouldn't fly, regardless of how much I agree with it. ;)
Sure, there's lots of examples of sloppy playing and loose noodly jams in their repertoire, especially for a band that is so well-documented. But when they're on, there's no one like them.
The...
Green Onions - Booker T. & The MGs
2000, I think.
Bought their live album on a whim since it had a cover of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
Was a bit underwhelmed by the cover, but really liked many of the other songs on the...
Took me a while but I was able to find Acquiring, Three Friends, and Octopus on LINE.

I purposefully left out the people whom I believe to be the best keyboardists making music during the classic Prog era, because they were not "prog" players per se: :)
Keith Jarrett
Herbie...
Pat Metheny Group - San Lorenzo (live version from Travels)
Sublime.
Hey all - Matt here.
This is the most excited I've been about being in a band in a long time. Between Heliopolis and my other project (The Jazz Butchers) it's been one hell of a year! Everyone...
I love the Dan. Always have, and I suspect always will.
I dig what I've heard of Fagen's new record, so that's going on the "buy" list.
So far:
Shaming of the True - Whittier
Peter Gabriel - Santa Barbara County Bowl
miRthkon - L.A. (I forget the venue)
Procol Harum's opening set for Yes at the Universal (Yes was quite...
Precious Time was always my favorite Benatar record. I should pick up another copy of that..haven't heard it in many years.
Quoted for truth! :)
I wish the arthritis did not prevent you from playing.
As a sidebar to this thread (at least in my own case), maybe it would make sense to list some albums or artists...
Yep. Took me a long time though.
Hearing "Surf's Up" on a Central California radio station about 10 years ago was the catalyst.
Hello my friend!!! :)
I agree with you 100% (surprise!) :lol: It's definitely for his writing that he makes my short list.
I've heard a lot of fantastic keyboardists as I've investigated the...
Picked up keyboards at 7 and drums at 8. Earliest influences were whatever was on Top 40 radio in the late 1970s.
Went through most phases as they came up, or as I discovered them on my own (new...
Sean, this is awesome! Great job!!
I've been CybrKhatru for so damn long, it looks like UP to me.
I'm Matt.
I play and haul keyboards.
Sometimes I sing.
Occasionally I get to play drums.
Oh, here we go! LOL ;)
I tend to go with Baribrotzer's line of thinking, even though "prog" and "fusion" are two different (yet often connected) things.
I think I'm too enamored with the...
