I'll have to stay up for this one....my show this week is three hours of Gentle Giant (it's a Gentle Giant week!), and I'll be very interested to listen to the interview (pun intended). I'm aware of most of his work in the industry, and will be listening intently.
Pierre Moerlen's Gong was one of my favorite acts, and being in the Northeast also, have had the pleasure of seeing Bon Lozaga and Hansford Rowe perform at small shows and record shops, carrying on the great music they created with him. Pierre did so many other things, and was in my view one of the greatest musicians I have ever heard.
The Mothers Day theme is very nice. I'm glad you're spotlighting females and not Frank Zappa and the Mothers
And Deadwing is most excellent.
