I've been a fan of
Neal Morse in all his various incarnations (pun most definitely intended) for about 3 or 4 years now. He founded the Prog Rock band
Spock's Beard then left in 2002 because he became a born-again Christian. I have to admit, this is off-putting for me in terms of the lyrical content but the music itself is as good as it always was.
Neal sent me a notification earlier that he was due to play in Bracknell on the 9th of this month and do I wish to attend? Yep, Neal himself not someone else. Neal. I'm quite happy about that. I have contacted the church where he's due to play and asked if there are any tickets/seats left, if so then I'll probably go.
The chance of seeing Neal doubtless won't come round again and I would like to see him and hopefully meet him. I consider him to be an extraordinarily talented musician, his musical output is prolific and although I don't believe as he does, I'm sure it will be a good show.
