Does anyone play in a band?

    You're both right of course, Danbo and Jim.  Holdsworth and Mclaughlin are both awesome! I know Holdsworth best from his work with UK, Bruford, and Jean Luc Ponty's '77 fusion masterpiece, "Enigmatic Ocean." A true axesmith. What are Holdsworth's newer solo works like, Danbo? Jazz fusion or what?
JIM, liked your "Uriah Creep" joke. Good one! Here are two questions for you   (but I'll answer the first one myself): 
Q1: What's longhaired, brown, and sits steaming on a Hammond stool?
A: Uriah's Heap! 
Q2: Who was (the "real") Uriah Heep?

	Maani, I for one think it's very cool that you front an E.J. tribute band. I wish I had the guts (or the talent) to try something like that -- good on you! Perhaps a song like "Rocket Man" (ever heard the beautiful Kate Bush version?) could qualify as "Progressive Pop," as could maybe the entire "Madman Across the Water" LP. (Love those anachronisms....) Wishing you continued success, Peter

	I'd love to hear John McLaughlin and Holdsworth trade 24 bars.......... I'm not so sure JM is better than AH...could be a draw. Aren't there quite a few threads out there debating this very topic? Long live Allan Holdsworth and John Mclaughlin!!!

	But can Allan Holdsworth take the Gom Jabbar.......?? I think not; now, John McLaughlin on the other hand...

	I'm play some guitar, but I've only been a singer in a rock and roll band.

	I used to front a Genesis/Yes cover band called "Frost." Way back in the late 70s, early 80s. It was the most fun I've ever had as a performer. We did lots of Genesis (from Can Utility to Squonk to Down and Out), and Yes (including all of Close to the Edge). Also some Gabriel (D.I.Y., On The Air), Crimson (Larks Tongues), U.K. (Nothing to Lose), Asia (Heat of the Moment). I currently front (don't laugh, please) an Elton John tribute band that is very hot in the NYC market. Called "Rocket Men," we do a one-hour tribute of EJ's greatest, plus some obscure ones. I sometimes do the shows in the kind of full regalia he was known for in the 70s- wild outfits, top hat, crazy glasses, glitzy rings, feather boas, high-heeled platform shoes, etc. It's great fun. (I hope this won't get me kicked off a prog site!! ) Anyway, I've been a performing musician since my single digits, and have always done something musical. Peace.
