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 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!

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!!
