This episode of the Goldmine Podcast's "Record Shop Talk" will center on prog rock and, by chance, a little-known British band from the early 1980s called Zed (whose debut 1981 LP was found by the staff in a budget bin for only a few bucks). Besides wondering about the aforementioned band's brief place in rock history, where does "prog rock" specifically fit in a record shop? In other words, should it have its own record section or bin? Is it a genre that is really that easy to define? Goldmine's editor, Patrick Prince, and Luna Record Shop employee Holden Russiano attempt to get to the root of these questions as two music enthusiasts who have never collected rock records with the term "prog" in mind.

Approaching 85 years old, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen talks about the early '60s onward — from the beginnings of Jefferson Airplane to his current solo career, including his new archival 2-LP live album, Wabash Avenue (out on Record Store Day Black Friday). Wabash Avenue is a special release, highlighting unheard songs at a solo acoustic performance in 1965 (before Kaukonen joined the Jefferson Airplane) at The Offstage, a folk club in San Jose, California. Guest host, longtime Goldmine contributor Lee Zimmerman, interviewed a vibrant Kaukonen about other subjects, too: Woodstock and Summer of Love memories, the essence of Hot Tuna (w/ former Jefferson Airplane member Jack Casady) and the guitar school of the Fur Peace Ranch, started by Kaukonen and his wife, Vanessa.
