The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. This episode is show number 300, which seems something of a landmark. Therefore, I have decided to dedicate the show to a landmark, that is the city where it all gets put together – Los Angeles. I have over 3 hours of music dedicated to portraying Los Angeles and environs, and if something doesn’t quite belong because I have misinterpreted it in some way, I am force fitting it anyway. So join Sound Chaser on a tour of L.A.
