I had the chance to play DJ again on CKLN-FM 88.1 in Toronto on this past Sunday morning.

Actually, I could have played anything I wanted, but I've decided to make this my thing, in case anybody is listening. Here's what I played.

SONG - BAND - ALBUM
Magic Pie - The Flower Kings - Flower Power
Sound Chaser - Yes - Relayer
Voices - Druid - Toward The Sun
Can't Think Twice - Starcastle - Citadel
Rome - Blue Shift - Not The Future I Ordered
Inca Roads - Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
Free Hand - Gentle Giant - Free Hand
Always The Same/As The World - Echolyn - As The World
I'm Not The Enemy - Michael Stadler - Clear
No Sign - Jim Gilmour - Great Escape

I love my Magic Pie. That's such a great FK song.
I decided to do a Yes sound-alike set, so I featured Druid, Starcastle, and Blue Shift.
Inca Roads by Zappa is killer prog material, with a great guitar solo.
Stadler and Gilmour are both from Saga. The Gilmour album is excellent piano and keyboard-driven prog. This is not a lightweight album. If you like Jordan Rudess then you'l like this album.

I'll be back in about two months, so time to start designing the next playlist.

The DJ before the show I was on playes four hours of death metal and heavy metal. She's about 30 years old. In reviewing the play list, she said she recognized just two of the bands, Yes and Gentle Giant. She couldn't name any song by Yes. It's amazing to me that I take this old prog stuff for granted as being well -known, but I guess if you weren't listening to FM radio between 1972 and 1976, you probably have never heard any of this classical prog stuff. Most kids today who listen to the radio weren't even born yet.

Sounds like I need my own weekly show so that they have a chance of hearing some good music for a change.
