OK, I'll admit it - I can't do any better than this. The world's greatest segue has been achieved and realized in this week's episode of Under the Radar! Seamless and professional, the Winkler has swerved into greatness with the segue from Mike Oldfield's "Let There Be Light" to Genesis' classic "The Musical Box." That's as good as it gets folks, so lay down your segue chops, fellow DJs! LOL!
All bragging aside, there is a lot of great music in this show - a three-hour tour, as it were! Retune suggested "anything by Renaissance" for the "melodic prog" segment, so we heard "A Trip to the Fair" tonight. More Renaissance is sure to follow. Let me know what your favorite prog melodies are and we'll try to work them in, with or without a killer segue!

The archive is finally up, everyone! This show was a special tribute in memory of Dave Plummer (DaveP). There's lots of great music that is somehow - in my mind at least - connected with my dear departed friend, Dave. There's even a track that Dave himself sang, as he was a great singer in his own right. I hope you enjoy the music. In some ways it's probably the best episode of Under the Radar ever - certainly the most heartfelt.
Dave is sorely missed. May he rest in peace.

A special edition of Under the Radar featuring Spock's Beard tonight, folks! If you love the Beard, you'll love the show. If you don't love the Beard, listen to the show 3 or 4 times and see if you don't find plenty to love about Spock's Beard! It sometimes takes a few listens to get into these guys. I know it did for me. Check it out!
Cheers!
