All Hallows come and I think it will be suitable to light a candle here for all our absent friends - wonderful musicians, who created prog, played on the albums we enjoy so much and who now rehearse the new great prog, which we will be listening to in Heaven. I think first candle should light for Mr Geoff Mann, singer, priest and poet - the frontman of sadly not existing Twelfth Night, marvellous neoprog band, who wrote the famous "Creepshow". ------------- yet you still have time! |

The first one who comes to my mind is Peter Bardens, former Camel keyboardist and composer, who died of a cancer in 2002. |

I do miss Geoff Mann. The year before his death he was doing some of his best stuff ever. The great concept album Casino, and the weirdest, most original album I ever heard, his solo album Second Chants. Too bad Peter Bardens died. I went to concerts of both men. Both good in their own right. As for my contribution: I lit a candle for Pierre Moerlen. |

Keith Moon and John Entwistle, much more than just the rhythm section of a huge band... |

Geoff Mann and Pete Bardens are great ones. For me, I would light a candle for Freddie Mercury, especially since Mann and Bardens already have one lit for them. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Non-prog, but my hero: Duster Bennett - 1946 to 1976 And as Gregg Allman sings on the Allman Brothers Band's "Old Before My Time": So hold a candle, 'til the darkness fades, the midnight moon, shining brightly... -------------

Not only musicians, Robert Moog passed away on 21.08.2005. Can anybody imagine rock without his synthesizer? |

David Byron- one of rock's greatest frontmen, and perhaps definitely one of the most influential to the heavy metal genre, as nobody sounded like him before yet hundreds have sounded like him since. He died February 28th, 1985, leaving a gap in the rock world that nobody ever filled..

Ah yes, I have the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (well, I did, then my brother borrowed it and I'm waiting for it's return). I have 12Dbs on Vinyl too, cost me a lot of money, hehe. Ah yes, between myself and my brother, we have the whole of the Indigo Records set..., I don't remember the KC rhythm section..., I'll have to have another look. Ah yes, A Man Down There was the song that got me interested in The Allman Brothers, as I was searching for other versions of Duster Bennett songs and came across it. Jumping At Shadows is one of my favourite ever tracks of all time. -------------
