He was an amazingly unique bass player - very poetic - and had a wonderful knowledge of harmony. We met at a certain time when music was very open, and I feel blessed to have created some wonderful, adventurous, music with him. Chris had such a great sense of humor... he always said he was Darth Vader to my Obiwan. I always thought of him as Christopher Robin to my Winnie the Pooh. We travelled a road less travelled and I'm so thankful that he climbed the musical mountains with me. Throughout everything, he was still my brother, and I'm so glad we were able to reconnect recently. I saw him in my meditation last night, and he was radiant. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. Love and light.....Jon"> From: sem8@cornell.edu > To: dahrius1@yahoo.com; jlhommedieu@insight.rr.com; joni@smoe.org > Subject: RE: Chris Squire passed on @ 67 years > Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16:11:47 +0000 > > Ironically I had a desire to listen to YES about two weeks ago, and have been listening to Fragile, Close To the Edge, and their live compilation Yessongs in my car since then.

I can't tell you just how much I love Chris Squire but I can tell you he has been the constant in that band from day one. YES has been a motley collection of former members and new singers but I really do consider them one of my favorites in the heart where it counts. RIP Chris. I never thought you would be the first YES to die. :( RIP FISH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ln9T76ieaA > > > > On Sunday, June 28, 2015 6:40 PM, Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: > > > Oh, damn.B We lost another great.B RS is saying that Chris Squire passed on. > > Jim ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16:24:08 +0000 From: "Susan E.

That was beautiful Victor. Just watched it twice. People like you honor Joni ("I was the only black man at the party") Mitchell the best by creating.B I'm also sad to hear of Chris Squire--always been a big Yes fan. Can't believe they aren't in hall of fame. In other news, the Peacock is not allowed to parade--NBC fires Trump.
