Just to let you all know, I posted a comment for which we can all add our input (for those of you who don't have the "Notify me of new comments" box checked).  If any of you care to add any comments along the way, that would be cool!  And if not, OK - play on!  Cheers!


High Hopes for a Great Tournament!

OK, everyone, we're off!

I consider it an honor to face off with fellow proggers and/or music enthusiasts, so hats off to all!  This should be a great opportunity for cultural exchange on musical undestanding and appreciation.  I have HIGH HOPES that this will be a great tournament for all of us in this regard, as we have 6 representatives from North America (5 from USA, 1 from Mexico), 1 from Central America (Guatemala), and 5 from the cradle of prog, Europe (2 from United Kingdom, 1 from Scotland, 1 from Greece, and 1 from Ireland).

That said, you might like to check out this link for one of my favourite (relatively modern) Floyd songs; the combination of lyrics, haunting musical progression, and evocative scenery are almost flawless.  Enjoy!

And last but not least, may the best progger win!  Cool
