Chris Squire was a bass player, not a keyboard player. But he was someone that the person who created this website played with and he died yesterday. So forgive the shoutout. Chris was someone and something that is all too lacking today: an original, someone not afraid to play, do, think, and say stuff that was, in today’s parlance, out of the box. As it should be. Music should not be cookie cutter. It should not be safe, preset, governed only by commercial considerations. Music should be adventurous, risky, challenging, unpredictable. Yes was a funny band and Chris was a funny guy. If you don’t know who they were or who he was, check ‘em out. |

“Roundabout” was, no, is one of my favorites. R.I.P. Chris Squire |

It’s difficult not to be influenced by the music of Yes, at least for some of us here where I’m at.... even after all these years. Sorry for the loss felt. |

Been quite a while since I’ve posted here. I was at work and heard something over the news and thought, no, that can’t be right…
