Yesshift Dan Shinder and Steven Shinder

Steven talks about some news again! The Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks single "Shine On" is out now! But before going into that, Steven touch on other news topics. There's a surprising addition to the Cruise to the Edge lineup, for example, and Bill Bruford will be involved in a conversation in conjunction with the upcoming Progject tour. Steven will even review the Jazz Sabbath Show he attended last night at the Catalina Jazz Club, which featured Adam Wakeman, Tim Landers, and Tal Bergman playing jazz versions of Black Sabbath songs. He acquired both albums on vinyl, so will also do a Steven's Vinyl Adventures segment here.
