Prog-Watch 4fh27

This week's program is a themed special called "Life Is A Long Song". Every tune played will have the word "Song" in the title. There will be lots of progressive stuff, of course, but also quite a few curve balls! Come along for the ride and see if you can guess some of the tracks that I will be playing!

For this year's Christmas Special, I dug back deep into the Archives and dusted off the first one, from the very first Season of Prog-Watch back in 2014! On this program I was ed by my youngest (by about a minute) son, Paul, and we chatted and reminisced a little, and played some Christmas favorites from mostly Progressive artists. I updated the tracks to higher quality, and added a few since the show was a little short by today's standards. I hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays...however you celebrate!
