My goodness... you have a REAL handle on a lot of info I never knew...
I think I'll hang out and listen for a while; I always learn something 
from you.  (Thanks!)  Breakfast with M,D & M, eh? sounds like an 
interesting morning... guess everything else that day was 
anticlimactic, to say the least  (or was it?).  I dimly recall Zappa 
producing GF, but only dimly... I think I may have left the bounds of 
prog rock with that; sorry, I wasn't thinking topically- nothing new...
My personal thang is world music-- but I lean toward the progressive 
aspect a bit more than the traditional. There's a Scottish lady named
Talitha MacKenzie who uses E.African Polyrythms and instruments from 
all over (her voice is the best one, though); I'd consider her a prog 
rocker, given the sophistication... another one outta Scotland is 
Shooglenifty-- they tried to classify themselves as something like 
"Acid-techno-funk-trance-rock..." I dunno; I think your classification 
is a lot more to the point, and simpler- if one is to join the Age of 
Classification (yet, also the Age of Diversity?)  I passed on a chance 
to get a boxed set of Brian Eno's work really cheaply-- lady wanted 15 
bucks for it... guess I was busy elsewhere or something. Just a few 
random thoughts...  I'll keep the offline mailreader dialed to this 
station, though-- you run  a pretty good show.   Oh, I got a 
moderator's spot here in KC on UsersNet-- music, no less. And a 
bibliophile's chat group too... Not much traffic yet, but it's a great 
way to stay disciplined as a writer.  Progressively yours,
                                        --BG--
