“I think I first saw Yes, perhaps with the Who...”

“So Who did you see?”

“Yes!”

[To Hell With Poverty]

Tom Woods must be seriously bummed (that’s for the libertarians here).

Yes he was. One of the best ever. Played an eight string bass occasionally. Damn Shame, too young.

“If there’s a Rock-N-Roll Heaven, you know they got a helluva band!”

For a hearty “good job” and an internet pat on the back, who sang that?

Google says “The Righteous Brothers”. A couple of years ago I sat front row right in front of Chris here in San Diego. Last year I was fifth row on Steve Howe’s side. Sat front row back in the 70’s with a Nikon. My favorite band ever. Much of their music I consider genius. Felt the loss all day.

Sad news. RIP, Mr. Squire.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Very sad indeed.

When a soon to be famous musician first heard ‘Yes’ play he said “that bass player is screwed up, he thinks he’s playing lead”......Ha....glad he was...

Thanks for the note.....get back to you soon.

Sucks I had to find out about this on the Grammies tonight. I met Chris, Trevor Rabin, and Alan White at an English Pub on Sherman Way in the Valley back in the late 1980s. I was there with my softball team and they were there celebrating Alan White’s birthday. Just normal guys enjoying a beer with their bandmate. I believe the owner was Rick Wakeman’s head roadie at one time. Saw them many times from the 70s to the early 2000s.
