Music today has been a journey into CD land and listening to some more Progressive CDs that I recently bought including one that arrived today: The Bruised Romantic Glee Club by Jakko Jakszyk. It’s a double CD from 2006. He’s become well-known for joining up with latter-day King Crimson as lead singer and other guitarist. […]

On July 19th we lost Emitt Rhodes, otherwise known as the one-man Beatles. I mentioned him recently when I posted Fairport Convention […]
