This comment is for the moderator in regards your change in handling your end of year reviews, citing disinterest among your audience in newer music. As someone who has over a decade on you and yes I love the old stuff with all my heart the search for new music and the acquiring of it is vital to me. This show, the review shows and your end of year series and episodes of your various shows have always been informative and let me in on some things I missed. It makes me sad that it does not garner more interest among your audience because I daresay many of them decry the current state of music. Well folks if you don't show an interest in the news, it will slowly wither away.

Glad to see Rosalie Cunningham get some air time. She is so talented. All of her stuff is tremendous. Pete please check out her first solo record. You would love it!

TIDES FROM NEBULA have just released their new album. A prog/instrumental rock band from Poland. As always with them ,the new record is PHENOMENAL.

Happy Anniversary Ken!!!! I think that was me who asked about that Sam Morrison album and YES, I ordered that Dune as soon as I saw it and then ordered others went up later and THEN there was one I thought I already had but didn’t 😅😂. Ordering like crazy this week.
That jazz album for RSD sounds interesting…
Ken, are you going to be bringing in the Gillan and Pavlov's Dog boxsets?

Good show guys!!! I already know my number one progressive rock album of the year and I’ll tell you prematurely> it is ‘to follow Polaris’ -which I consider Andy Tillison’‘s solo masterpiece, although it is sold as ‘a legitimate Tangent’ album,’ absolutely phenomenal,,, and so on point about the political crisis, we are now facing in our world,awesome!

I have been a fan of this show for awhile now. Even if you don’t buy everything, you get to know it exists. I have been learning from Pete and Ken and other Prog guys on YouTube and I am doing my first live radio show tomorrow on WMUH, Muhlenberg College radio in Allentown, PA from 6 to 8 in the morning. You will definitely hear things I have bought from Ken on there. But thanks again to Pete and Ken for passing on their knowledge and inspiring me to do something with it.

If it helps, I saw Journey at the Capitol Theater in Passaic in the Summer of 1978. Steve Perry was a recent addition. Aynsley was still playing drums.

Thought I was done when yesterday's order was made but saw that one was missed and then the Professor and Pete added a couple more to the card today. Thanks once again to Ken and Pete for these weekly episodes. They have brought a lot of new enjoyable music to my attention.
