Episode 015 – Night Siren: Back to School Edition

Our Back to School episode. So the three missing episodes will show after this one. Steve Hackett has released an album worthy of your money and time. We discuss it track by track and in the spirit of September (and as professional educators) we give Mr. Hackett his report card. SPOILER ALERT: He qualifies for Honor Roll. Listen and enjoy. The last track is from an audience recording from Butlins Minehead, Somerset, England from Sunday 29th January 2017. The person who recorded this did not leave his name in the text but I want to thank him/her. So listen for a BONUS track at the end.
