Long time lurker, I feel the need to express how valuable ProgArchives are. I was born in Soviet Union. It was not easy to access western music then, so the sounds that reached us from the outside were rare and treasured. I came across JT and VDGG then. I am of mixed Russian/Ukrainian background. These last 2 years were hard. I am lucky to be far away from the war, but I learned it the hard way that there is such a thing as vicarious trauma. I always thought that books will be my refuge from the storm, but this war took away the joy from to 2 out of 3 of my languages. What kept me sane was the music. I could have written pages on the therapeutic value of RPI  Not sure, if I'll be posting a lot here, but this much I must say. This is a very special place, where people talk of things I love, where I can learn of new music or hear an interesting take on the familiar topic. So, thanks ProgArchives.
