Somebody quick! Send for the physician, for I’ve come down with the case of the Midnight Mushrumps and I fear there is no cure!

My 4 year old daughter is hitting her ‘princess’ phase, and we’ve been playing Gryphon (mostly MnMr) as our ‘courtly’ music! Simply the best way to sneak a little prog over a tea party.

Thumbs up! I snuck ELP, Giant, Genesis, along with AC/DC and several others, into a children's theatre production of Macbeth ... it worked like a charm and I enjoyed some prog through many rehearsals......(e.g. the opening of Battle of Epping Forest crescendoed whilst Burnham wood came to Dulsinane, and the riff from Knife Edge played every time Lady Macbeth came on stage).

Many Gentle Giant songs have a “banquet phase”
