On today's programme is one of the progressive rock 'classics', which means one of the albums of the 70's you need to know if you are into progressive rock. It is a masterpiece by Gentle Giant: Octopus (1972). I am playing it in honor of Ray Shulman (8 December 1949 – 30 March 2023), who mostly played bass guitar and violin/viola, but also guitar, trumpet, recorder, keyboards, drums, percussion and vocals. Shulman and keyboardist-bandmate Kerry Minnear composed or co-wrote much of the music for Gentle Giant.
