Chris Squire, Rest in Peace

I was a wanna-be musician at 15 when I saw the Anderson-Squire, Howe, Wakeman, Bruford YES when "Roundabout" was just making its mark.

They played a taped "Firebird Suite" into the chime at the beginning of Roundabout and 3 minutes later, I was in tears in the presence of something greater than my wildest dreams. I figured I'd better study harder in school and leave the bass playing to those greater than I could conceive. The next day, my bass playing friends gave up their P-basses and LaBella flat wounds and started looking for Rick 4001s with Rotosounds.

Thanks for the memories, Chris. I still played bass for another 30 years, but never gave up listening to CS when I needed to hear a bassist get front and center.

And yes, I worshipped Entwhistle too. Both sadly gone now.

I live near Phoenix, and saw him with Yes twice at the Celebrity Theatre in the last two years, and he was as exciting as ever. I had seen Yes on the east coast a couple of times over the years, and have been admired and enjoyed his playng for well over 40 years.
I was hoping to see him again in the future, and along with many of us, I will truly miss him. It comes so soon after th passing of Jack
Bruce, my all time favorite.

Will be missed.

Thinking back on the times I attended Yes concerts, he was the animated and "theatrical" for the lack of a better word, on stage. He not only loved music but also performing. I would be truly surprised if we ever see another Yes album. Hear the MoFi and Analog Productions? Time for a remastered box set! Again, a loss that will leave a hole for us fans.
