This week on Prog-Watch I'm digging through the vaults and doing an entire show of classics from the halcyon days of the 1970s! With music from Armageddon, Happy the Man, Led Zeppelin, Crack the Sky, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, The Alan Parsons Project, Gentle Giant, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and David Bowie!
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.
