Whooooo hooooooo (quietly) I will be there tomorrow night in Atlanta with
Bob and Victor to enjoy one of my favorite bands of all time. The last time
I saw them was at the House of Blues here in New Orleans on Jon Anderson's
birthday. It was a great show in a small intimate venue. We had VIP seats in
the second row balcony just a few places over from Jon's wife. I went oveer
during a break and gave her a copy of Beth Patterson's CD (my pal bazouki
player) to give to Jon for his birthday. I am glad you are giving them a
second chance. Check out these songs in your husbands collection: From the
album Going For The One-Turn of The Century and Awaken (prob my fave of all
time Yes stuff), From Tormato- Onward, On the Silent Wings of Freedom, from
Relayer-Soon. If you like those I will give you more. Notice that they are
all slow ballad type stuff which of course I am crazy for.
