"Punk is never having to say you're sorry."

Found this terrific documentary on progressive rock from the BBC. You have to admire the Beeb for being so in-depth on such an esoteric subject.

What is funny is that, after the inevitable fall of prog rock, the musicians, who were "ousted" by punk rock, sound apologetic.

Don't be silly.

Prog rock had its bad moments just like every musical style that's come and gone, but prog rock was (is) still some of the most exciting music ever made. These are wonderful musicians who made amazing music.

So, I hold my prog rock banner high and make no apologies.

You don't have to go with the family on the usual vaco if music is your thing. Make music your vacation with the fabulous summer music camps being offered by the Full Moon Resort in New York. It seems they are offering something for everyone this year: song writer's, guitarists, and I'm very pleased to see a camp focused on female artists.

Having attended the Three of a Perfect Trio camp last year, I can tell you that it was quite an experience. The facility is nestled in the Hudson Valley in the Catskill Mountains, so the vibe is relaxed and mother nature is her usual spectacular self.

If you watch this video carefully, you may see your humble blogger enjoying himself. I had an incredible experience.

Think about it.
