Plans for 2012

New Year 2012

After a fantastic first four months of the Yes Music Podcast, here is a very short episode for the New Year, with a few ideas I’m thinking of developing in 2012.

Please let me know what you think of the ideas.

I hope you all have a great 2012 and thanks so much for listening and getting involved in 2011!

Apologies that the sound quality is not as good as usual. I need to do a lot more experimenting with the new set up!

Normal service will resume next week, barring unforeseen circumstances…

What are your Yes music champagne moments?

Nominate your champagne moments!

Over the coming holiday period, I won’t have time to record the usual album episodes. What I’d like to do instead is create a couple of episodes made up of what you regard as the best moments of Yes music – the moments which remind you why you love listening to Yes – your ‘champagne moments’.

I’d like as many YMP listeners as possible to submit their ideas by Tuesday 13th December through any one of the following routes:

  • Leave a comment on this blog post
  • Ring the voice mail number (on the right) and leave a message
  • Send an email to show@yesmusicpodcast.com
  • Upload an audio file to the new ‘GoAruna’ site (click the link on the right) – please make this .wav or .mp3 (44100Hz and 128bps if you understand this stuff)
You can submit as many champagne moments as you like but I might have to select one or two if lots of people get involved – as I hope they will!

Please get involved!
