| Turntable Platform - What do you place your TT on Make a cheap mans Ginko Cloud. Just get a maple cutting board of an appropriate size. Then buy a bunch of squash balls on Amazon or at your local sports store (if they carry them). Place them judiciously with more under heavy parts of the shelf an... | |

| Prog Rock Sounds like an interesting group of musicians, kind of a super-group. I know Neal was auditioning people for another band he was putting together, but I'm sure that's yet another project outside of this one.Bottom line - there's lots of good prog ... | |
| Prog Rock Actually Spocks Beard is very much alive and producing music. However, they are not producing the same quality of music that they were when Neal Morse was leading them, back in the 90's. In fact, many people really liked Neal Morse's solo albums t... | |
