  2. The Yes Album

    Send an instant karma to me ... The Yes Album is released February 19, 1971. It's the group's third album and their first with Steve Howe on guitars. NOTE: "I've Seen All Good People" makes a wonderful ringtone.

  3. "Roundabout" is a song by the English #progressiveRock band #Yes from their fourth studio album #Fragile, released in November 1971. It was written by singer #JonAnderson and guitarist #SteveHowe and produced by the band and #EddyOfford. The song originated when the band were on tour and travelled from #Aberdeen to #Glasgow, and went through many #roundabouts on the way. The song was released as an edited single in the US in January 1972 with "#LongDistanceRunaround".

  5. Out vinyl shopping 🛍️ this morning at Intense Records in Chelmsford got some good bargains. A Marillion album signed by Fish, two prog solo albums from Steve Hackett (Genesis) and Steve Howe (Yes). A free Sammy Hagar album, a Geordie album (Brian Johnson's band before AC/DC). Finally I bought my third Groundhogs album 43 years after buying the first two 😂.

  6. There are two schools of thought in regards to how your rock guitar, bass or keytar is slung. The first school says that to be as cool as possible, the guitar should be slung as low as possible while the musician is still able to play the instrument.

    Generally the maximum low is roughly when the guitar body is as low as your groin and the rest of the instrument appears as if it is coming out of your groin area. If you think I am saying groin a lot, you would be right.

    The guitarist, bassist or keytarist plays with this giant instrument that is coming out of their groin. Isn’t that cool? Or is it just masturbation?

    One might wish to call the guitarist, bassist or keytarist a giant dick. But they will just respond with a simple, “I’m not a giant dick. I play a giant dick.”

    The other school of thought around guitar slinging is that the guitar should be held up high enough that the musician can play with maximum agility, speed and stretch. This musician can now play more complex pieces if he/she wants to.

    It’s no surprise that the prog rock guitarists, bassists and keytarists all seem to play with their instrument up higher, more like the body of their instrument is based at the belly button and the instrument appears to come out of this area. Not only do prog rock musicians do this, but, virtuoso musicians like Eddie Van Halen and Mark Knoppfler also do this.

    Not only is this much better for the complexity of the music, you can even say Steve Howe (of Yes) is such a good guitarist that he practically came out of the womb playing the umbilical cord. Yup, straight out of the belly button. No wonder virtuoso musicians play from the belly button.

  7. @ariarmstrongwriter Still disappointed that #SteveHowe, #ChisSquire, and #AlanWhite found a new singer in 2008 rather than waiting for #JonAnderson to recover from acute respiratory failure, and then did it *again* in 2012 after *that* guy came down with respiratory problems.

    Then Squire passed in 2015, leaving us 2001’s “Magnification” as the last studio album with his and Anderson’s vocal harmonies that were absolutely essential to the #Yes sound: songwhip.com/yes/magnification 😒

    On this day in 2015, legendary Yes bass guitarist, Chris Squire died following a battle with leukemia.

    “In and around the lake
    Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
    One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
    Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
    Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you”
