We think that Thor Harris is an Austin treasure.  As a musician, visual artist, wood craftsman, plummer and bon vivant, he often embodies what is great about our city.  In this segment he takes Elizabeth on a brief tour of progressive rock and gives a shout out to Yes and other stalwarts of the genre.  He also explains why he dislikes most classical music and what music inspired his new, hypnotic project, Thor And Friends.  Then Grace London and Zoe Czarnecki from the Austin band Misimplicity describe how Elliot Smith and a bass concerto by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf have helped them find their musical ways and climb musical mountains.
