You might be Prog if…

You are prog if, after thirty years in the business, you go on reunion tour with very nearly the original line up. You employ a younger band in the same genre as your prog heyday, doing original material and they end up sounding more like you than you do.

The reunion line up then falls apart and you get in new blood by hiring two of your former support act that then write all of the new album. Fans complain that whilst it's the best album in a decade, is it really Thotch, or something else?

In other news, Brian Pern turns seventy this year!
 
I am not sure where claghorn fits.

It fits right here…


"The song "Dharma for One", a staple of Tull's early concerts (usually incorporating an extended drum solo by Clive Bunker), was later covered by Ekseption, Pesky Gee! and The Ides of March. This song featured the "claghorn", a hybrid instrument invented by Jeffrey Hammond which combined the body of a recorder, the bell of a toy trumpet and the mouthpiece of a saxophone.Anderson also claims to have invented the instrument."
