    thank you Mikhael
    honestly, I tend to agree with much of what you post. We are not as different as our previous horn-locking might portray
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
