Greetings!

"Pushing The Envelope - Music Decidedly Left Of Center" has spent the past eighteen years bringing you the finest in the avant realms of rock, classical, electronic, jazz, ambient, world music, and just about anything else that catches my ear. All this along with a healthy dollop of new and classic Progressive rock.

PTE now airs on Thursday evenings (EST) from 8 to 10PM. As always, you can get all the information you need to check "Pushing The Envelope", streamed in real time, at our web-site: www.whus.org

And finally...... as always, I'm constantly looking for new music to air. (Please note, all play lists are posted to the progressive rock, ambient, electronic, and contemporary classical music newsgroups, the Wire, Prog4U, and avant-classical Maoists, and in addition to all that, e-mailed to you.) If you have something that you'd like to share with our listeners, please sent it along to:
