Heard one of the best balanced documentaries on prog rock offered by the British media this morning - still available for downloading. The title My Wizard is one of two obvious errors from 28 minutes packed with good information, and several of the main protagonists interviewed on very good form - and they were all able to laugh at themselves. Back to two minor monans: the writer/narrator seems to have go the impression that the lyrics of prog are largely about wizards, while he struggled to come up with a prog band with a woman on board, other than Curved Air: Renaissance would have been a better bet. Otherwise a great little poted history and where is the genre headed now.
