SCS20 - Total Mass Retain, Kennett Square PA Words cannot describe the fun contained in this Special Concert Series edition of the Palaver. This conversation took place immediately after TMR’s show at the Kennett Flash. Not only were Joe, Paul and Ken all together (always a treat) they are joined by Joey, Mark and Joel of Total Mass Retain and Tom and Ann from ProgStock ALL at Paul’s kitchen table. A lively conversation took place. Ken’s excellent sound engineering captures levels of detail not normally available on the Palaver including the slightly noisy introduction of a pack of gummy bears to the festivities in the middle. This Palaver may be a bit different but we hope this recording captures the fun and joy of a group of friends having a great time in each other’s company. Our deepest thanks to our friends who joined us on this one.

SCS19 – Rick Wakeman, Allentown PA Friend of the Palaver Ken Fuller lends his experience again as he joins Ken and Joe to review the Rick Wakeman show from October 2019. While Ken Gregory was busy covering ProgStock, Ken Fuller was taking in the joys of a Rick Wakeman piano concert from his exclusive box seats. This palaver is a light, entertaining jaunt as is befitting a recap of a Wakeman show. Enjoy!

Special Episode – Interview with Dave Kerzner Part 2, Dec 2019 SPOILER ALERT – In the course of this interview Dave spoils the ending of Acceleration Theory Part 2. If you have not listened to Acceleration Theory Part 2, we suggest you do so before listening to this podcast. Paul, Ken and Joe get the chance to catch up again with In Continuum’s David Kerzner. This wide-ranging palaver examines the writing and making of Acceleration Theory. Dave provides a look into his writing process and his love of a good story. Dave’s enthusiasm is infectious as he speaks about his various projects. In an unexpected twist, we get off-topic to chat about Star Wars a bit. Great stuff.

Bonus Episode – Steven Wilson Revisited In this solo episode, Joe takes a few moments to reflect back on the Steven Wilson segment of the Palaver. He shares his initial thoughts on SW and moves through the reactions to these records long after the Palaver stopped recording episodes. A little light listening to help close out the year.

Episode 76 – Genesis Part 16, Supper’s Ready The Palaver goes in slightly different direction considering a single song. Supper’s Ready is obviously a very important (dare I say critical) piece of music in the Genesis catalog. It is a complex composition and has a relatively wide array of performances / interpretations. We dive deep into the various sections, discuss the way different bands present this work and consider the ridiculous question of which version is the defining one. We hope you enjoy this somewhat different Palaver.

Special Episode – Interview with Andrew Colyer Ken and Joe spend some time with Andrew Colyer. We get the chance to talk about his current experience as keyboardist for 3.2 featuring Robert Berry and how he approaches playing the parts of the inimitable Keith Emerson. Andrew touches on his associations with The Tubes and Tom Brislin. He also fills us all in on several of his other projects. Andrew’s origin story with prog is well worth the listen. The Palaver looks forward to keeping in touch with this very talented artist.a Twitter: @progpala Email: progpala@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/ProgPala YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCw_Xxit3D8wbv-AcJ_7Z__w/featured Theme music provided by: Dave DeWhitt
