Greetings ProgArchives I have been lurcking for some time and I can't hold back anymore and want to be a part this community. When I was around ten years old, my dad realized I preferred music with lots of instruments, so he showed me ELP's Pirates. This was the first Prog song I've ever heard period and I remember loving it. Over the last sixteen years I have been discovering the various kinds of music I like (and don't like, oh boy). Maybe I'll share more of my music experiences some other time. Suffice to say, I'm excited to take part in a community I can truly feel apart of.

Hello and welcome! I am from Germany but have an affinity to the USA. My wife Jeanine (same-sex marriage) is originally from Oakland, CA and came to Germany in 1993. We met shortly after she came here. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Welcome aboard brother. I'm a unabashed ELP fan through and through. Many years ago when my son was around 10 or 11, (he's 29 now) I used to play him Tarkus Live from the Welcome Back My Friends album. I would tell him the story of each section in the hopes of stirring an interest in prog music. it worked for a while and then he was in high school, after that, for some reason, my influence waned. Go figure. Enjoy the site. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Hi, and welcome from my little corner of England. I'm old enough to have been a teenager in prog's heyday (late 60's to mid 70's) so my views on prog tent to be a bit skewed, and at odds with many other prog fans, and mostly preferring the Symphonic and Psychedelic/Space sub genres. [I have actually been around the site for a long time - 15 years-ish, so don't be fooled by this relatively new profile which I made when I was locked out of my old one, which I hadn't used much in ages.] ------------- "We're going to need a bigger swear jar."
