Prog-Watch 1120 – Music Measures Memories
This week my special guests are Jamie Robertson, author of a book called Music Measures Memories, and the book’s publisher, our friend and resident reviewer, Rob Fisher! (Bet you didn’t know Rob was also a publisher!) The book deals with the importance of music in Jamie’s life, it’s ability to help us heal, and it’s ability to intertwine with our memories. Jamie, Rob, and I chat about that, and some of the most meaningful songs in Jamie’s life. We hope you will join us to hear some of “The Diaries of a Melomaniac” and lots of great prog rock and classic rock songs!

Anthony Rowsick (aka the Progsquatch) has been a fan of Progressive Rock for roughly 35 years. When the last of his four children moved out a few years ago he suddenly found himself with some things he had been lacking for many years – extra room in the house, spare time, and spare money! So he decided to invest in some computer recording software and an interface, moved all of his instruments and equipment into one of the kids’ old bedrooms, and began writing and recording his own music again. His friend Nelson W Pyles – the lyricist and vocalist in his recording project (called Novus) – is an author and podcaster and gave Tony the idea of doing his own podcast. Thus, Prog-Watch was born!
When he is not working, listening to Prog Rock, or preparing shows, Tony likes to pick up heavy things and put them down. He also reads avidly and enjoys craft beer.
