A prog FAN can be anything but usually amounts to someone whose circumferance is Rush, Porcupine Wotsit , It Bites and maybe ,on the side, Neil Young or ferkin' Stackwaddy.
But make no mistake - you are dealing with a Prog Masterman here and it behooves a Prog Masterman to be well-versed in ancillaries which border or integrate Prog.
True, Baggs is proud to say he has no knowledge of Elvis or Eskimo nose-blowing musics or Armenian sheep-shearing chants, but I DO possess formidable collections of: fusion, electronic, (British & Brittany) folk, classical, hard, heavy,pop.
(Where Baggs is lacking is in the realm of old jazzbo - Baggs has TRIED but cant get into all that guff like Miles and those other doughnuts.)
