PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #472 “(Steadying Force – A Tribute to Alan White”)

This week was Alan White’s birthday… he would have been 73.

Some weeks after Alan’s passing, I’m finally able to put together a tribute to a great musician (and an even greater human being) with some music and personal stories.

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

R.I.P. Alan.
