Hi: I suppose most of you know the Kevin Bacon game (join any person with Kevin Bacon). So I proposse the KEVIN BACON PROG GAME: Join anyone with Kevin Bacon USING AT LEAST ONE PROG musician as a starting point or a knot in the chain. It may seem difficult, but a friend of mine managed to join himself with Bacon. A clue: he used Tony Banks. How HE got to Tony Banks was a miracle... So... who can join, let's say... Sir John Gielgud with Kevin Bacon? It's just 3 steps... |

Not sure about the Kevin Bacon/prog connection, but we could have our own variation. I can think of 3 potential prog 'Kevin Bacons': John Wetton Brian Eno Robert Fripp In fact, in the case of Eno you could probably link to almost any musician in any genre. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Tony Banks and Fish recorded one track for a movie soundtrack. This movie featured Bacon as a young would-be yuppie who has to struggle his way upwards to the top of Wall Street in order to prove himself a good business man and give back his parents' savings (he had lost it all in a bad investment, at the beginning of the movie). The movie was Quicksilver, I think. Regards.

And Tony made the soundtrack for 'The Wicked Lady', starring Sir John Gielgud.
