| None. I gave myself Martin Barre's "50 Years of Jethro Tull" and Steve Hackett's "Genesis Revisited for Band and Orchestra," both excellent albums, and I'm glad I know what I like, so I can gift myself music I will really enjoy. |

Opeth - In Cauda Venenum, the CD set with both the Swedish and English versions. It was the only album I received. I suggested a few others that were on Bandcamp, but I'm guessing my family preferred to stick with the more familiar Amazon for their web-ordering. It's getting harder to find music that I like and don't already have in stores locally. I did get a pTrumpet (a plastic trumpet), though, so that's at least a gift that'll provide me some musical interest. Maybe it'll end up on a prog album one day. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |

I was delighted to receive two Van Der Graaf Generator CD's as gifts for Christmas, but that was only because I bought them for myself back in November.

| None. I recently found a 'Tormato' LP at a record shop, and despite everyone's feelings about that album, I still enjoy the hell out of it. Especially 'Arriving UFO'. So I was happy I found it. |

| I gave my father Maxophone self titled a Italian prog band very good stuff. He's not the biggest progfan but the album has alot of heart in it, very vocal heavy. I am trying to convert him to listen to more prog. i mean he did grow up in the 70's so he knows prog, just not a huge fan like I haha. |
