This year’s Chri … sorry, Progmas card!
Merry Progmas! [/QUOTE]
Absolutely sensational! love the 7 weird key changes and the Roger Dean sleeves. When I began this thread it was just to see if we could have fun with a Christmas prog theme but I am delighted that it lead to fun stuff such as that 12 days of Progmas! Its weird how the song actually changes time sig a few times and gets really Avant towards the end. Great stuff from Somewhere... any more Somewhere?

Is Somewhere a signed act or unsigned. You could make a Cd and be listed here!

@Teaflax: May I use the awesome Fragile Christmas ornament as an avatar? Just over Christmas? If I infringe some copyrights, please let me know, then I'll remove it.

Formentera Lady: I may technically infringed Roger Dean's copyright by making it, but parody and reference is generally covered under fair use, so I would say there's nothing to worry about. As for my work on it, that took all of three minutes, so I can't be anything but thrilled if the idea hit home.
Tapfret: thanks fot the nice comment on Bridges. That was just a taster of what is to come and recorded only months after the band had really come together. Our goal is to have an album completed by this time next year. Hopefully an online-only EP in the spring to whet everyone's appetite.
Thanks, all, for nice comments on Progmas. Nearing 5,000 hits on Youtube now, and I was thrilled beyond belief when it cracked 1,000.

... It does not happen too often (to use an understatement) that I like a Xmas/Yule song, but this is an exception!
