A Truly Special Edition of ASD: Miguel's Final Chapter
Tonight’s episode stands apart... a heartfelt tribute, a moment of reflection, and above all, a celebration. In this second-to-last installment of ASD, I have the distinct honour of presenting a showfill curated with great care and reverence, featuring some of the most cherished Progressive Rock gems that I’ve had the privilege to discover over the past eight remarkable years. Each track selected tonight is more than just a song – it is a thread in the intricate tapestry woven by Richard Z’s incredible body of work.
This show is, first and foremost, a dedication to Richard – a man whose passion for Progressive Rock has not only enlightened listeners but profoundly shaped the musical journeys of many, myself included. Richard, your unwavering commitment to sharing your deep knowledge and rare finds has been a beacon for those of us hungry to understand and appreciate the depth and brilliance of this genre.
Your influence has been transformative. You have introduced new worlds through sound, challenged our ears, and inspired wonder. For all the years, the effort, and the love you've poured into each episode... thank you. Thank you for your tireless devotion, your discernment, and your generosity of spirit.
Tonight, we play not just music, but a tribute to your legacy. You’ve changed the course of my musical appreciation forever, and I know I’m not alone.
With deep gratitude and admiration – this one’s for you, Richard.
