I also saw Rick Wakeman solo live in Seattle around the same time. Both concerts were awesome! Looking at Wikipedia, I must have caught Wakeman solo in 1975, he apparently took a couple year break from Yes. So I must have seen Yes in 1976 when he returned. Great memories even if the dates are a bit foggy! Chris Squire was fantastic! RIP.

Anyone on the way want to come and help Michael make it safely? Another option would be to fly into New Orleans and drive in with him. That's what I did with Bob Murphy, flew into Boston and road tripped to Full Moon, and boy did we have a time! Thing 2: Those staying at the Lodge or Cottage, I'd like to have your payment by 01AUG. If you want me to clarify how much that will be, hit me up offlist. Thing 3: If you want me to pick up beer/wine/liquor for you I'm happy to do so. Just specify what you want and you can pay me upon arrival. Thing 4: There is no thing 4 at this time.

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.

I'm glad Leslie has backed up the aneurysm story but enlightened us on her prognosis. When I was 12 I had a brain haemorrhage which was caused by a malformation of veins in my brain which ruptured. Luckily I was in the back of the car with my parents so an ambulance arrived within half an hour. While recovery for me has been total, I do have effects from the bleed where the scarring has affected my peripheral vision and my visual comprehension of numbers was tricky for a while, but compared to the near total blindness and lack of feeling that I had down one side of my body, I have gone on to a world record for the highest game of cricket (Gorak Shep, Mt Everest 2009), a belt in capoeira, 2007, 2 solo stage shows which I'd written and performed (2010 and 2012).

Well I guess I should just calm down and be happy that Joni is speaking and feeling better every day. Yeah!!

Before you showed up, someone asked why there are so many Yes fans among Joni fans. Someone said, "blonde sopranos". :) I said, "I think Stravinsky is the straight line between those two points." Jim PS, I have a theory, which I call "theory #1".
