Happy Valentine's Day all you Prog Lovers!

I haven't been to my blogsite for nearly eight weeks--nor have I listened to any new music (though I have to admit to sneaking a listen to the new Mike Oldfield and Utopianisti releases--both amazing!)
My Prog Is Alive! radio show on WDRT-Viroqua continues as usual on Sunday nights at 10:00 PM Central Meridian Time, but I've chosen to do a lot with old prog music--revisiting the "classic era" and putting together a special series on the history of the jazz fusion, jazz-rock, and psychedelic arms of the prog starfish.
     So, then, what have I been up to? Well, believe it or not I've been writing. From December 26 to last week I was working on a novel. It's finished. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to proceed next in order to publish it.
     "What's it about?" you ask? Well, it's an exploration on the possible spiritual motives of the wealthy elite families that have been steering this rather perilous course of human history over the past 10,000 years or so. I'm still toying with title ideas for this particular book--which is intended to be the first in a series--though the series is called "The Osiris Plan Series." Anyway, wish me luck!
My daughter is getting married this weekend and farming season begins right after that so I'll be busy.
BUT it shouldn't be long before I start listening to and reviewing music again. Perhaps by June. In the meantime, y'all enjoy these Trump-times and the rapidly accelerating descent into near-term human extinction! Keep on Proggin'!
