Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team on the Love Your Parks Tour and and publishers of Big Blend Magazines, for Big Blend Radio’s Champagne Sundays Show, which aired live on Feb 6, 2022 from Celina, Texas. Special guest is keyboardist/vocalist Bill Jenkins, founder of Vast Conduit prog rock ensemble, who will discuss their debut album “Always Be There,” that releases on Feb. 16, 2022.

“Always Be There” is dedicated to the notion of doing whatever we can to build and cherish all parent/child relationships, regardless of circumstance. There are so many different ways these can suffer – death, divorce, illness, self-centeredness, etc. – yet they are so vital to our happiness and well-being. Every moment we have to support each other and make each other’s lives better is precious.

Band Members include: Bill Jenkins (Enchant, Thought Chamber), guitarist Michael Harris (Arch Rival, Thought Chamber, Darkology, Michael Harris Tranz-Fusion), drummer Will Jenkins (Ghost and the City, Great Wall), bassist Jeff Plant (Thought Chamber), and violinist Jim Hurley who has performed with the likes of Blackmore, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Ancient Future, Queen Ida’s Grammy-winning Bon Temps Zydeco Band and many more, and vocalist Friel. Guest artists include Tom Abraira, Bert Lams, Manon Roem, and Betsy Walter.
