1. Listening to Yes? That's the answer?

What's the question?

[Sporadicus]

2. How Many Times Do You Estimate that You've Heard that Album?

I had it on 8-track tape and went to sleep with it playing on numerous occasions, so the number of times I've heard it must be in the several-hundreds.

3. I have everything they have ever done together

solo stuff too.....on album and CD....

Never get tired of listening to it......matter of fact....I watched the Symphonic Yes DVD last night........was re-learning Howe's Concerto in D guitar piece and needed a refresher...

4. How About Rick Wakeman's 'Six Wives of Henry VIII?'

Still my absolute favorite.

5. Yep......old scratched up album....

haven't listened to it in years...

Some of them I cannot find on cd...

JA Olias of Sunhillow..

CS Fish out of Water...

I love em all.....they are all just like other Yes albums to me....mostly all the same people with a few others in the mix..

6. I actually like Side Two (I still have the "L.P.")

"I Get Up. I Get Down."

This tune/side still just fucking sends me...takes me right back to my lysergic early seventies youth...

"...in grade 10 again, sitting alone in my dark bedroom closet, trying to get my money's worth out of a half hit of cheap acid..."


Sweet vinyl can do that...

On edit: I was supposed to "ask you anything". Got any "Orange and Red Beam" on Freak Bros blotter papier?
