Our (not really) new Facebook YMP Discussion Group is open to anyone to join but I’ll be adding rules and joining requirements when I have time (one day…). One of the advantages of the new format is that all members of the group have the same ability to post content, so it’s a bit more egalitarian, or somesuch. Please do search for the group and join in.

Theme music
The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from: archive.org

I prefer Oliver Wakeman’s “Ravens & Lullabies” to “Fly From Here.” Benoît sounds great on it.
I am glad we have ‘From a Page’ in addition to ‘Fly From Here’ as a reminder of Benoît’s contributions to the band. He was an underrated vocalist, and ‘From a Page’ was a really pleasant surprise when it was released!
I’m wondering, what is Benoit doing now? Is there any more recent music from him to listen to?
He has retired from music altogether, unfortunately, and gone back to his boat business.
I believe he went back to the jobs and trades he had which was in woodwork and furniture and car sales, just like myself!!
