The last DLBN broadcast of Epic Prog featured a lot of songs with the word "last" in the title! We heard a set from the Marillion classic, "Misplaced Childhood," as well as from the new Dream Theater album, "Systematic Chaos." It's been a great 3-1/2 years here at the Dividing Line and I'll miss it, but it's on to other things. If you want to know what I'll be up to, check out www.myspace.com/lurkermichael for the details. It's been a blast. Thanks for listening!
