Wow, thanks, everyone! I appreciate your greetings. I am currently living in Reno, Nevada but hoping to head back to Alaska this summer. I have some health issues now in my "old age" but hanging in...
Thanks for the reminder! I'll have to look this album up!
Hi! It's been years! Just checking in to say hello! I hope everyone is doing well, other than the RIPs I just read about here. :( Someone messaged me here at Prog Ears so I decided to pop in and...
Westworld is clearly the BEST new series out there. I am completely hooked!
Not a huge Marillion fan, but if I had the money, I would have gone just for John Wesley.
As for Tommy's Joynt, it's a great preshow gathering place for the Regency. I actually don't care much...
Still lots of good seats left in San Francisco for Nov. 25. I'm still on the fence because I'm not sure if I'm taking an extra Christmas job or not, which means working on Black Friday instead of...
Finally got to see Shin Godzilla yesterday! It was only playing in one theater in the entire Sacramento Valley, so it took me two and a half hours on public transportation to get there, but wow, was...
Or in my case, "what it's actually like to be a woman who likes prog". We are way too rare. I never just meet people on a random street who know, much less like, the same music I do. Loony's meeting...
Okay, I'm already changing mine to Porcupine Tree - Signify.
Cheapest tix for Golden 1 Center in Sacramento are in the low $70s. :O I can skip groceries for a week, sure!
What? No Depeche Mode fans in the room? :O They would be my second choice! Tupac is a definite third. I have to think about the other two spots.
Yes. definitely! They are already planning another album. I'm sure some stuff is already written. Once their current tour is over, they will probably jump in the studio.
And wages have been stagnant for the past 15 years. I'm what you call "the working poor" and I'm not plunking down $40 for a damn t-shirt for ANY band!
Love it! I was very happy for Rob Cottingham when he started to talk about his new band. If I can't cross the pond, I hope Cairo crosses it this way someday!
Well, shut my mouth! I've been pushing for Jay to replace Jimmy in Spock's Beard. I didn't realize Jay still had the gig with Yes.
Sad to see t-shirt prices go up so much, regardless of quality or artwork. I noticed at the Yes show last month that prices were a bit ridiculous. I remember having to scrape up for a $25 tee for any...
Well, now that Alan White is returning to Yes, Jay Schellen just might be looking for a job.
Totally stoked he is coming to Sacramento! He'll be playing in our brand new downtown arena, Golden 1 Center. (Sir Paul was the first concert there last week.) I hope to have the ticket money by the...
Actually, I think Ronnie sounds a lot like Todd Plant of the (now defunct?) band Cryptic Vision. I've always said Cryptic Vision was the bastard child of Styx and Kansas. :D
Yay, thanks for letting me know I can still buy in! :D
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Let's see... I'm 55 now. Double nickels means free coffee! I've got arthritis, chronic sciatica, major depression, and I'm slowly going deaf. The sad thing about the deafness is eventually I won't be...
I loved old Izz back in the day (ten years ago ;) ) Glad to see the band is still around and making new music.
I love the old Japanese monster movies! I have seen the newer Americanized ones and pshttttt, forget 'em. I'll have to check this new one out if I can find it anywhere. (No car means no late night...
Happy to hear Martin is on it. I really miss him in IQ (with all due respect to Neil). I have a few Jadis discs from their earlier years but admit I haven't played any of them in a while. Maybe I...
Is that like "cankles"? ;) In any case, I am sorry to see Jimmy go, but I wish him the best of luck. Now the Bearded Ones have a job opening. Any drummers out there interested?
I am bummed that they already reached their pledge goal. I wanted to contribute but had to wait until payday this Friday, the 14th. :( Now it's too late.
In any case, I'm looking forward to...
That's the old "Rich Williams' frozen glass eye" story. ;)
Yay, Vic! :)
Oh cool, they took a "Prog Women" photo at Prog Day this year? Excellent! I went in 2014 and we even got to have our own porta-potty! :D
Also chiming in with a "Great story, Lou" about your blind...
Well, my Giants are out and I don't like any of the NL teams still in, so I'm going to cheer for the Blue Jays on the AL side just for the hell of it.
Giants have had bullpen problems all summer,...
LOL, great review, Vic. :)
Music is my greatest emotion and that's why I can be long winded about it at times.
Thanks again, folks, for your kind comments.
LMAO!!! :rofl
Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Thanks especially to Sean for explaining what Refugee is really about. Now I will listen to the song again with different ears.
For those who do not like the...
Nice review! I'm hoping to pick it up eventually.
Awesome! Have a great time at both events.
Sean, thanks for the review. It was really inspiring reading it from a major diehard fan like you. I really hope they bring this tour to the West Coast! I often look for tour updates, but nothing...
Sorry it took two weeks longer than it should have, but I finally got this done. As most of you know, Kansas is my favorite band and this new album is a very big deal! I'm working on a new website...
Considering Kansas is my favorite band, I anticipated this new album with much jubilation!
Working on the review as we speak. I still don't have a new website set up and I have flushed Facebook,...

Shhh... we don't exist. ;)
Go Giants!
Great news, Kevin! I am a big Moodies fan, too. Looking forward to hearing your cover.
Ha, I looked all over for an arrow and finally found it. Thanks for letting me know. Thanks also for the great music you have created over the years. Farpoint truly is a fantastic, talented band and...
I missed them this year, but I am looking forward to the new album! Hopefully I can catch them next year if they come west again. I saw Ronnie Platt with the band for the first time about a year ago...
No West Coast? Maybe I can take the train to SLC and crash at my niece's place.
Kevin, I'm so sorry I didn't see this in time for the free download. It sounds wonderful, just as I would expect from Farpoint. Congrats on a nice mini-epic!
At one point, Styx had FOUR lead singers... Shaw, Young, Gowan, and Burtnik. Now it's just Shaw, Young, and Gowan.
Ambrosia's current line up also has four lead singers... Stacey, Puerta, Jackson,...
I'm looking forward to seeing Arrival when it comes out!
Still possibly my favorite novel of all time!
I am re-reading Tolkien's The Silmarillion, which I haven't read in about 20 years. There recently was a rumor that Peter Jackson was finally going to put this on the silver screen, but it turned out...
Saw Kings X for the first time back in February and they blew me away! Doug Pinnick is clearly one of the best bass players I have ever laid my eyes on. Those guys were having a blast on stage and...
Looking forward to the Reno show two weeks from tonight! I've enjoyed hearing about the tour from east coast friends so I'm more than ready to enjoy this show.
Enjoy the show! I look forward to your opinion.
Nice to meet you, Gizmo. My review was short because I've been told in the past my CD reviews can be too long winded and emotional, LOL! I am working on getting a new website together with all my...
I dunno, but I'm getting a little tired of humans killing humans. Granted, Carol was awesome a couple episodes ago, but I would like to see the show go back to raw survival and our heroes depending...
This Giants fan is ready for some baseball!!! Let the season begin already! I am hoping to get to the Bay this summer to see a couple games. (Affordable on Amtrak!) I love ATT Park and I love my...
Can't afford anything on the radar until I find a new job, but I'm hoping I can scrape up some $$$ to see Justin Hayward in Sacramento in June.
Saw them here in Sacramento a few months ago and I really enjoyed the show! Unfortunately, I can't make it down to SoCal for the upcoming shows in April. The band is well worth seeing a second time!
Don't know if any of you care for this, but it's one of those endearing earworms that will not go away! I am totally addicted. :)
