Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
Kirk:
I am doing music now - mostly Christian stuff. It has been interesting introducing prog arrangements to individuals who have almost never heard of, nor even considered, the genre. Actually the music director at my church and one of the musicians, both of whom have degrees in music and are accomplished musicians, were fascinated with the concept of progressive music. I burned a CD for them with some classic prog stuff and lifted some info describing prog music from the internet. They were both impressed with the concept and the music and wondered why they had never encountered the genre before. One day I hope to do produce some progressive arrangements of traditional church hymns. (Somewhat inspired after hearing Chris Squire do a bass solo using Amazing Grace as the melody line in 1976!) Anyway, I do have some stuff available on line. Look at www.download.com/fragilecreation. My favorite is “Lord, you have My Heart”. “To Him/In the Holy Place” is moderately proggy, especially if you know the original song arrangements. “Cry” is an original written by a friend who was a bit surprised after we produced it as my arrangement changed the character of the song somewhat and moved it towards a progressive feel. “Creation Worships” will never be confused for a prog song. |

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
Somewhere else there was a suggestion that ressurecting old threads for the benefit of new Moonbuds was a good idea.
Well here we are: We know that you all like prog bands but what other music is there that pushes your buttons which you would only admit to true friends? Read back and you will see that I am a life long Barry Manilow and Doris Day fan. Roger.Lee likes Bob Dylan and Rick and Roll likes being whipped by scantily clad nurses. ![]() |

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
Ditto Kirk on the American Idol. Every episode for two years, and if I'm not there it gets recorded.
I'm so glad you mentioned this. I was getting lost in Welk. There's a new one on now till the end of the summer with Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke doing the judging for their new band. Complete fodder but great fun. Soundscapes - usually on a Saturday when I'm cleaning the house. It's one of the music channels on telly here.

Of course, you DID get me and Rick mixed up, which in and of itself gets you into at least a medium sized bucket of trouble. Roger -Dot- Lee, of course I'm kidding. But which part shall remain a mystery...

I'm so glad Keith revived this thread! For some reason, I didn't receive an update, missed your post. Thanks for the good words and support! I've recently relocated to Fox Island, aprox. 12 miles from Gig Harbor...so we're only 100 miles or so distant. Your friends will be glad to know there's an entire branch of Christian prog, AKA "CProg"! Steer them toward Glass Hammer, Salem Hill, or do a Google search. There's many indie bands on the web doing some very good material in this genre. "Vertical Alignment" comes to mind. Tell them I sent you. ---------------------------------------------- Back on thread- Guilty pleasures...OK...I watched every show of American Idol this past 3 years...shutup, Rick. I also listen to Comcast's Music Choice/Soundscapes until around 11 every day. It's about all I can handle until I'm 100% awake... or on the 3rd cuppa, whichever comes first. Oh, and I like Metallica, have several of their cds. I use "Enter Sandman" to showoff the Klipsch speakers. Kirk

I'm not wasting space on American Idol lol..... Quantum I'll drop you a line soon, sounds cool! Resurrecting Manilow, I talked with Matthew Parmenter at the 2005 Nearfest for three hours about Barry. Anybody hear the big hubbub in Austrailia recently? They were using barry's music to frive out local ruffians, and it worked. Check it out sometime. Ok, I've named a million before but here are my top guilty pleasures... The Cult Molly Hatchet's first record (a classic!) anything from the 50's except for Pat Boone (I enjoy his metal period better!) early 70's funk Love Beach (THAT was a joke) Ambrosia's "Biggest Part of Me" "Baby Come Back" (band escapes me) |

Re: Guilty Pleasures!!!!!
Bread and David Gates...........stunning
America..........ditto That inspired me to put the old vinyl on the turntable and spin them again. "If a picture paints a thousand words.................." I see the Doors mentioned a fair amount. What's guilty about the Doors? Crikey, I even go by the name "Maurice Jimson" when we do a Doors covers set.........now THAT is something to feel guilty about (but I don't ![]() |
