#paraesthesia

i can’t tell if it’s a neurologic thing or a psychosis thing or both

Paraesthesia (noun) par·es·the·sia ˌper-əs-ˈthē-zhə

A tingling sensation on a person's skin, typically caused by strong emotion

PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #211                            (SeaProg 2017 - Preview #4)

It’s been one hell of a great month of new music for me... and for you, if you’ve been listening to this SeaProg Festival series.  Even if you’re nowhere near Seattle, you should avail yourself of the wonderful bands that will be playing this year.  This week we delve into the music of a well-known local musician (Robert Svilpa & Paraesthesia), a brand new Prog band (Pinto Wagonfire!), and one of the most uniquely brilliant bands I’ve ever experienced (Jack O’ The Clock). 

And if you ARE near Seattle, by all means get your butt out here and join us!

SEAPROG:  The Seattle Festival of Progressive and Avant Rock will hold its 4th event June 2-4, 2017 at the Columbia City Theater in Seattle.

Information about SEAPROG 2017 is available here:  SeaProgFest.org

The Progressive Tracks Show, being the sole progressive rock show in the immediate area, has become the de facto publicist through the FM and internet airwaves over the years (actually, the organizers fully support me in this endeavor).

Remember... there’s always room for more great progressive rock!  So put on some headphones, sit back, and enjoy this preview.  I hope I will see you at the show!

Paraesthesia: 1. That feeling of tingling, prickling, shivering or numbness on the skin with no apparent cause, from the Greek para = beside, other-than, weird; and aisthese = sensation.

2. ‘Pins-and-Needles’.

3. That electric feeling you have when you find something; an artist, a thought, a song – that makes you think ‘yeah. this is what i want more of.’

The hair that isn’t there

I have been in a fight with something that could be considered rather ghostly.

Why?

Because it’s back.

And it’s kinda freaky if you think about it.

I have hair that’s not really there.

It’s as if there’s a fringe resting on my temple, but the left-side temple of my face is as bare as a baby’s bottom.
