Progressive! The Sound of Rock's Mature Side in Ahmet's House

As the show started to come together for tonight, we heard of the passing of bassist John Wetton...another great loss to the music of Atlantic Records. As so much of what John created affected the progressive rock world, the song list took its own way. Tonight, some of the great work of John, and a sampling of the progressive catalog of Atlantic! It's all in Ahmet's House.

So tonight, in memory of Ahmet's passing on December 14, 2006 and in memory of his legacy of music that today is being newly discovered by many around the globe...we look back, we look forward and we say thank you, Mr. Ahmet Ertegun. One dream, so fully lived...
