    Mike Bahr thinks he's got a vision problem. Hah. Mike, I wish contacts could
    fix my problem. I call people like you wanna-be blind people. :) Because when
    I mention something about my vision, they say well, I can't see without
    glasses. come on. You don't want to be me. Trust me on this one.

    and as for the college thing, I know I need the education, I am just really
    burnt out.

    BTW, my latest band has decided that they don't need keyboardists anymore, so
    I am available. If you live in NJ and want a keyboard player, email me.

    Yes, I am feeling rather depressed. It's not everyday that you're kicked out
    of your band, in an age where more and more bands have less and less talent
    and keyboardists. With nowhere to turn, and an unwillingness to go into the
    dance/techno/rap scene, I almost feeeling like cashing in my gear and paying
    off my debts. I don't know how DT finds their keyboard player after Kevin
    left. I wonder why they never decided to just go as a four-piece. There, some
    DT content for you.

    Anyone ever hear the band Space Hog? They have a single out called In The
    mean time. I had respect for the band until I saw them live. The single has a
    decent keyboard part running throughout the song. It also features a nice
    keyboard ending. These guys don't have a keyboard plyaer. I lost respect for
    them. Besides, they sampled the phone ringing noise from Pink Floyd's The
    Wall, and that backwards piano chord that starts off Yes's Roundabout.
    Thieves. I hate the 90s. I hate my life. I shoul.d've played guitar.

    This just makes me have more respect for Dt. In an age where everyone is
    kicking out keyboard players, DT not only bears true musical talent, but a
    very talented keyboard player. I give them more credit than I give even Rush,
    who has decided in recent albums to throw their keyboards into the closet.
    (For the Record, I am a huge Rush fan). After watching a band like Space Hog,
    and some local bands who have decided to go the way of my band and lose their
    keyboardist, I f3eel like DT is my last salvation. Not forgetting Yes, or
    Shadow Galery or Magelan or any of them, but Yes hasn't done anything really
    progressive in years, and I don't own any Magna Carta stuff. So I can't
    really judge. Anyway, enough ranting and feeling sorry for myself. I'm going
    to bed and dreaming of having 20/20 vision and a good prog rock band that I
    can actually be a keyboardist in.

    A local mag said that Kotzen was kicked out from Poison because he
    allegedly made moves on a band member's girl. I don't know if this is
    the same situation you are referring to.

    The first song off MacAlpine's _Premonition_ is awesome. The rest of
    album is ok to good. His songs have a moody feel to them that I'm not too
    fond of. His latest _Evolution_ is good. The first song is again
    awesome, but the album tends to go downhill after that, imo. He plays a
    number of classical piano pieces (Bach), and has some good keyboard chops.

    Has anybody heard Greg Howe's latest titled _Parallax_ or Michael Lee
    Firkens? Guitar magazine gave them good reviews albeit short ones. I
    haven't had the time to pick these up because I have at least three
    months of listening material including my most precious gem _Suffocating
    the Bloom_ on CD.

    Walter.

    well due to the fact that my band covers 'The Ytse Jam' I'm pretty aware
    that my bassist knows that solo... but I don't know if he's willing to write
    it down....

    as for the James singing falsetto... he doesn't... he just has a huge vocal
    range and his body is just one big lung:) you can't sing that powerfully w/
    falsetto....

    Koba, be chilled. I just read through 14 digests without stopping to go to the bathroom. Outside of the Internet, it would seem that there are just too many marginal-cost curves in the world waiting to be plotted for me to spend all my time writing to a mailing list that doesn't raise my GPA. But I'll definitely have to check out that Pink Floyd box-set sometime... :)

    "Outdo" me? Do you think Dark Star exhausts his rage by chopping water? If all one does is exist, one cannot be outdone. One must first do to be outdone. Outside and around your world of incompatibilities, I warp your light and simply exist. Moving, I am like water. Still, I am like a mirror. I respond like an echo. And I am simply nothing.

    I, the perpetually-bubbling cauldron of thought disorder, Bafu Vai...the Samurai...of Hammurabi! (all without the aid of Nyquil, mind you)

    Mike, you forget that I am not only immune to competition and air currents, but also on friendly terms with The Dark Star. Besides, he nailed me with TWELVE references in that infernal drinking game. I'm not that eternal knight from The Holy Grail, here. I can only take so many verbal needlings before I have to shift from defense to laughter. Even water evaporates if flamed enough. I thought Dark Star's post was hilarious! He nailed everyone, including me, which is more than easy since I stick my neck out more than Kaiser Soze. (did someone say kobayashi?)

    Side-splitting for the Guilty, plus it gets you plastered. Who could ask for anything more? The overall premise reminded me a little of those ceaselessly long and boring posts by that other guy...

    Adrian Avecone: Even the cleanest porcellana requires a little brodaglia every now and then. Pay it no heed, flush it down with the rest of the sporcizia. It was boorish and fetid as you said.

    Eddie Van Halen vs. John Petrucci? It's not apples and oranges, it's apples and smoked salmon. I think I've already been quoted as to my feelings on this debate. Like Cyrano DeBafuvai, I have begun preceding myself by fifteen digests... Weird.

    I just saw "Seven" a second time and have arrived at the conclusion that it will never be nominated for anything because the entire production is just too evil. Or too brilliant... Or both.

    Yes. You can post as often as you want. Your mailbox will hold an infinite amount of mail. You can take all the flames on the entire Internet all by yourself. But if your head leaves your body...

    And should you get several messages with the word "More." and nothing else, take my advice and promptly seal the inkwell. Toss your twitching quill. It will only bring you regret in time.

    > Remember the Ancient Maxim: liquor before beer, you're in the clear; > beer before liquor, never sicker (or get drunk quicker).

    Actually, I use a different maxim: "Beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer, still really sick, beer before beer, sick like never before, liquor before liquor, god-awful sick like the plague."

    And now, a moment of silence for Matt Sirois. (sound of imaginary chains unshackling)

    No way!! Nope!! I'm not being baited, no, I'm sorry, this guy is not, repeat not serious. He's just trying to wind me up (*grits his teeth*). I fell for a previous one, ages ago when someone suggested suggested we list our favourite top five and put Blind Melon on the top of his. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but there is no way someone could ask for Acoustic Dreams AND claim that lyric is from Surrounded. Unless I am wrong, isn't that 4 gulps of drink for everyone?? Anyway, the lyric is from "Another Day", isn't it?? - Only joking!!

    I am the bringer of some bad news to you all.

    I received a message from the band on Feb.20, that John Petrucci's father, also named John, had died on Feb.13 from Lymph-phoma cancer! He was only 56 years of age! The funeral was held on Feb.17.

    I am told that John has shown admirable courage during this untimely event, that life has dealt him and his family.

    The band have since regrouped, as of Feb.21, to have an extended 6-day rehearsal session, to catch up on things, following this event.

    I am sure at this difficult time, we would all like to send our warmest best wishes and deepest sympathies, to John and his family for their bereavement.

    That's all for now,

    --- Saapunut 03.MAPE 90-4694432 21-02-96 15.16 -> IBMMAIL.INTERNET IBM IMX Hello all. Here I am, the cause for the unending "Mail Item Format Warning"- messages. Now, before everyone nails me down for being a moron, here are the reasons/excuses for the whole mess. I use email through a IBM 5250 terminal, not a PC, and all my mail goes through IBM's Mail Exchange handler, so the way I use the mail isn't exactly the correct way, but I have no options. The 'Response at IBMMAIL' is the Mail Exchange, not me, and unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this. The reason why I haven't explained this earlier is that I had my winter vacation over the last week and I hadn't seen the whole mess. Some of the posts concerning the matter have been humorous and the others haven't. Thanks for the ones who've taken it lightly. I would greatly appreciate if the listmaster found out a way to get rid of these Mail Item Format Warnings. I didn't see any of them back in the kbibb'ed 'jam, but make no mistake, I am not pro-moderation. I am sure no one is more pissed off by these messages than I am, so puh-leeze, could someone moderate them off the 'jam, because I'm not going to unsubscribe because of this, the jam is way too cool place to be. And now on to another subject. Has anyone heard the Joe Lynn Turner solo album which has Derek Sherinian on keys and Al Pitrelli of Savatage fame as a producer. I quess it can't be all bad. Has anyone heard it? Is it any good? Thanks for your time (although I quess everyone skipped this post after seeing the magic words Mail Item etc...). Increase the peace.

    I gotta say that I bought the Tempest CD simply because it's on Magna Carta and Magna Carta has put out nothing but good music...until now. This Tempest CD, "Turn of the Wheel," is junk. Imagine a poor Jethro Tull doing Scottish folk songs...over and over and over. I've bought about 25-30 progressive CDs over the last 6 months and this is the first one that I really don't like. Beware this disc. It's a stinker.

    The resident prog-heads should check this out. Great publication!

    PROGRESSION MAGAZINE The Journal of Progressive Rock

    Progression is a full-size quarterly magazine devoted to news, reviews, intervews, and features involving a wide range of progressive/new age/electronic/avant-garde music artists from the United States and all corners of the globe.

    Coverage includes the more accessible, "mainstream" acts such as Marillion, Yes, Kitaro, King Crimson, ELP, David Arkenstone, Jethro Tull, Rush, etc. as well as occasional features and reviews on more "serious" artists such as Univers Zerp and Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. Progression strives to highlight emerging talent in the progressive realm: echolyn [R.I.P.], Prometheus, Vanessa-Mae, Ozric Tentacles, Episode, Djam Karet, Nawang Khechog, White Willow, Magellan, Enchant, Discipline, Witsend, Happy Family, Kalaban, plus countless others.

    A typical edition of the magazine exceeds 70 pages and showcases exclusive, in-depth interviews with progressive artists. Past issues have featured Keith Emerson, Ian Anderson, Greg Lake, Jordan Rudess, Mastermind, Anglagard, Bill Bruford, Marillion's Mark Kelly, Hawkwind's Dave Brock, etc. Also included are dozens of concert and album reviews, tour itineraries, and information on new album and video releases. Photographs accompany the articles. All editorial material is compiled by professional journalists and musicians with years of experience in progressive music.

    Also, ample advertising provides a marketplace for those wishing to buy and sell recordings and other items.

    Worldwide, the progressive music scene is growing. But it is scattered growth that needs support from a knowledgealbe base of devotees (people like you) who know where to find the gigs and buy the albums that keep the genres alive. That's why Progression exists: To get fans and industry insiders informed. A subscription to Progression is a small but important step toward letting the commercial music establishment know that virtuosic music of both cerebral and visceral appeal remains popular.

    So don't delay! A one year subscription in the United States and Puerto Rico is $18; in Canada, $20. All other countries, $23 surface, $30 airmail. A sample issue is $6 U.S.-Canada, $7 elsewhere. Back issues are available. Order over the phone with Visa or Mastercard at (508) 970-2728. Credit card orders also area accepted by mail -- include name as is appears on the card, card number, expiration date, and signature. Or, send check (drawn from an American bank, payable to John Collinge), cash, or money order to:
