I'm really looking forward to that. As I told a new acquaintance last year, a musician who has worked with Bill Bruford, Yes is keeping me alive, in a way.
Most of my playlists start with the live version of Siberian Khatru, and the song gets my walks off to a great start. Regular exercise is a key component of controlling diabetes, and I favor walks of 4-6 miles.
There are Rush songs in there, too, of course. I just hope Alex actually speaks in syllables during the induction speech, though his remarks when Rush was inducted were a hoot!
I understand that Neil won’t be there - I think he’s afraid that Alex will embarrass him! I thought Alex’s “blah” speech was not much different than his guitar playing. Telling a story without any words.
Maybe his induction speech will be: “YES! Yes, yes, yes. Yes....yes.yes....yes....” (I doubt it. It is one thing to be goofy with your own speech.)
