Greetings!

By the time I post this, I will have returned from Cruise To The Edge 2025. Some of my favorite performances included Karmakanic, Thank You, Scientist, The Aristocrats, Steve Hackett (playing a few of his own tunes, a chunk of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway & other Genesis favorites), Riverside, Big Big Train & Robert Fripp/David Singleton in conversation. Great Fun!!

Enjoy!

Joel

Enjoy!
