4. Because Bill Bruford was still with Yes?
...and Rick Wakeman didn't hide another keys player under the stage on tour?

6. No, no, no.
I'm talking about the creation of the songs, the LP and the recording. I'm not comparing Bruford to White. I'm not talking about anything you think may have happened live on stage after the release of the LP.

You know what I'm talking about. I know you know, you cynical fellow.

5. Because it gets better every time you listen to it!
Have you heard the story of Rick Wakeman's son coming home from a friend's house and saying "Dad, I just heard the greatest album ever! I borrowed it so you could hear it!" and then handed him Close To The Edge. Rick said it was the proudest moment of his life.

7. I never heard that story!
I'm very happy to hear that. Thank you.

Does Rick's son play an instrument?

:)

8. I don't know. Probably not, you know how kids rebel against their parents.
