COTM - #87 - An Ode to MoonofFruit

[OverHillandDale]

Greetings my friends.

Some of you may remember a young man that frequented the Aural Moon Shout Box for several years. He was a very endearing chap and has touched all of us that have gotten to know him. We only recently found that Moono had succumbed to his battle with cancer. We will certainly miss his great spirit and his love for progressive rock.

Back at the start of Corner of the Mooniverse, the listeners sent in a playlist that included a full album and than single tracks. Moono had submitted a playlist that I was not able to every play. So today, it's all for him.

The playlist includes the album 90125 by Yes, Signals by Rush and several of the great prog classic tunes. So join us in a remembrance of our friend Justin Purcell.

The playlist includes the album 90152 by Yes,

Wow! I YES album I never heard. I hope it's an improvement over 90125!!! :D

Nice tribute, Dale.

[OverHillandDale]

Wow! I YES album I never heard. I hope it's an improvement over 90125!!! :D

As a matter of fact, VAX, the 90152 version was done by Billy Sherwood and they call it the CIRCA edits. Has a BIG concert feel to it. (earplugs available at the refreshment stand.)

WHAT???

Actually, 90125 gets an unfair shake from "prog snobs" IMO. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" is by far the worst tune on the album. It's really a great disc.

And Signals is very, very, very good as well. "The Analog Kid" is one of my five favorite Rush songs ever, if not my favorite.

Here's to you, Moono.

I hope you can come by today for our tribute to Moonoffruit. Share some stories with us and listen to some great prog that he chose.

Great show Dale. I missed the end after David Gilmour because the nurses arrived. Moono is proud, I'm sure. RIP
