Andy Tillison and Geoff Banks

If you’re free for the next 45 minutes, it’s definitely work checking into the Prog Dog Radio Show.

Geoff Banks is an excellent radio host, and Andy Tillison is an equally interesting guest.  Banks and Tillison are talking about the nature of progressive rock as well as engaging one another on a variety of topics.  On the nature of Prog: Geoff is arguing that prog is ”music that will stand the test of time.”  It is the classical music of our day.  Andy’s response: Progressive rock is “serious electric music.”

Andy, sounding very much like Owen Barfield or J.R.R. Tolkien of the Inklings stated that his brainchild, The Tangent, is much bigger than himself or a supergroup.  He hopes it will keep going long after he’s retired.

The chat room is especially interesting: Alison Henderson, Blake Carpenter (Minstrel’s Ghost), Sally Collyer, and Matt Stevens are all contributing.
