I started working with a personal trainer a couple of weeks ago, and today I found out he plays piano and is a big prog fan! He's a bit older than me (early 60s probably), yet he's actually gone to Opeth shows, and seen Genesis with Gabriel, King Crimson in Central Park (!), and lots of other cool stuff.
So there's lots to talk about - too much really, as it was sort of interfering with working out, but I didn't mind. It was nice to talk to someone in the meat world about prog, and especially nice to talk about something other than Will Smith, which I have zero interest in, yet everyone seems to think it needs to be spoken about! The guy even likes Clutching at Straws and Sugar Mice, and knows Marillion has had a "new" singer for ages. I might have to try and grab a beer with him one day.
