- Well, over the last month, I have had three one and a half hour
- shows on a charity community Radio station, doing the rock show.
-
- I didn't go for a wholly porgressive show, as I didn't want to
- isolate any listeners, but I had a first half of commercial rock
- type and then moved into the prog area. I'll look out the playlist
- and see what I did!
-
- The last show I did was a "Saxophone Segue" (pronounced segway)
- where every track had a saxophone solo. This was mostly not
- progressive (included Careless Whisper, Baker Street, Will You)
- but I snuck in some tracks by Camel (Fingertips) and Floyd.
