Howe is like an alien, he's the most antisocial rocker I've ever met (I've met many).  Anderson is as sweet as he seems, White is "hail, fellow, well met!" and Rick was very gracious and warm, he'd be a great politician!  

Thanks for the insight on the guys.  I got a good chuckle.  I would like some clarification on your impression of White sounds friendly but aloof?
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

the thing is, about .o5% of the fan base even knows there was and will be a new singer.  most people go to a Yes show and are upset they didn't play Wheel in the Sky or Carry On My Wayward Son.  seriously,  i'd love to do an exit pole at one of roger water's wall shows to see how many folks thought they just saw pink floyd.  these are the people (the majority) that still crank the car stereo when More Than A Feeling by Boston comes on...after almost 40 years!  gotta love 'em.  btw, i do like some Boston sometimes.  Big smile

Quote from a family member..."I thought Robert Plant was the guitarist for Led Zeppelin and Keith Moon was the drummer.  He died right?"

Ahhhhh!  Wacko

I think everybody on this site knows that I love this album...just to say about yes 1, 2, and 3...
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Latest bit of Yes drama, just posted to the "Official Yes Facebook Page"

FYI Everyone - The yesworld.com website was finally changed today to remove Benoit David. Interestingly, the site does NOT list Jon Davison as a member.


http://www.yesworld.com/


Indeed, that is the case!  Not that I am surprised, as Jon Davison and Glass Hammer have made it clear that he is "on loan" to Yes to fill in for the ailing Benoit David. 


However, is this a sign that B. David is being dumped, regardless of his health?  I'd venture to say "Yes" to that one!  


Thoughts?

Oh no, White was VERY friendly and not at all aloof!!   He and Wakeman would be the most likely to join us at the bar!  

I've met quite a few proggers....Bill Bruford has a great sense of humor, but he's not all that warm.  Fripp is charming and funny, but he also keeps an emotional distance, although he seemed genuinely interested in me as a professional.  

I keep bumping into Adrian Belew, he knows me but can't quite place me....my usual taunt is "Adrian!  I haven't seen you since Tulsa!!"  Which used to be true about 20 years ago!  Funny as hell!  

One of these days I'll strap the Rickenbacker 4001 bass back on and hit the stage.....stay tuned!
