Afterglow Playlist for November 12, 2009.

http://soundscapes.us/afterglow/playlists/2009/091112.html

Afterglow is where I present an eclectic mix of genres with an emphasis
on Progressive Rock.

If you or your band have a version of the Genesis song, Afterglow, send
it to me and I will consider using it to start the program. If I use
it, the band gets a link on the Afterglow web site!

I also host The AM/FM Show every other Saturday morning and will be
there on Saturday, November 21.

Listen to WMUH on-line now.

Show #350 November 12, 2009.

On this show, I played music by IZZ who will be throwing a CD Release
Party at the New Jersey Proghouse on Saturday. I also played music by
Pulse who will be at Mixx Nightclub on Friday. See the Events Page for
details.
