It's a wonderful album that should be part of every progger's collection.

Frank, I'm only have way through the show and already I'm getting the new Sean Filkins cd and the Lee Abraham cd. Awesome music. This album is a Top 5 for 2011 and maybe higher after I hear the rest of it. You should have come to ROSfest. Awesome weekend. Dates have been set for next year as well. May 4-6th, 2012
ReplyDeleteChris, I'm planning to go next year, so watch out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked Sean and Lee's music. I also believe Sean's CD will end up on a lot of top 5 lists this year.
