'The Yes Album'..... Ho-hum...

Greetings Worlds !!

On the news, as I type, they have told the news of the death, of a high school teacher. It seems that, he - I think it was a man - was rescued from the Korean ferry..... but, sadly he felt the need to take his own life. My prayers go out to him, and his family......

It's Easter.... well, it's been Holy Week and today, it's Good Friday. So - for us, here in our little home, it's a very special time. Hopefully, this weekend, will pass - with out someone, somewhere feeling the need to cause suffering to others !!

As I type, both of the ladies of the house are here with me !! ME is going off to work, but not until later...... and B is meeting up with her Cousin, in town.... in about an hour from now. So, it will be a magic roundabout... with both of them going out & returning later. I don't mind - it means I can blast the music out thru' the Bose !!

At the moment, I'm listen to the Allman Brothers 'Play All Night - Live At The Beacon Theater 1992'. It came out some months ago now - but, as it was tucked into a bunch of other stuff - not Allman related, I kind of lost track of it for a while !! I must get my Cd's in a better order - they are starting to go everywhere !!

If.... and it's a big if... I had thought about it, before now, I could of done them all up, together & listed, in some kind of order..... before my birthday, in July !! It would been a ideal thing to have completed - I would of known, exactly, how many Cd's there are around the place & - more importantly - they would of been in the right order !!

Oh well.... I guess I could make a start on it.... but, I don't think I'm going to get it done before July !! Oh well.... I'll see how things go !!

I've done a track listing, for the Cd's above.... so..... I'll skip that today. But - I've been thinking about albums, that have had some kind of effect on my music buying "life" !! Today it has to be 'The Yes Album'.... by the almighty Yes, which came out - I think, in 1972.... or there about !!

I have it here, somewhere on Cd - but, it's one of those albums that I've actually kept on vinyl - it's kind of, that good !!

The tracks are:

1) Yours I No Disgrace
2) The Clap
3) Starship Trooper:
                                (a)  Life Seeker
                                (b) Disillusion
                                (c) Wurm
4) I've Seen All Good People:
                                            (a) Your Move
                                            (b) All Good People
5) A Venture
6) Perpetual Change

I'm sorry about the wrong spelling on 'Wurm' - I just don't really know how to get the right letter in there...... I am not computer friendly & that's a fact !!

From the opening chord, right thru' to the end of 'Perpetual Change' - this is an album & a bit !! From buying it, I went on to buy 'Fragile' - 'Close To The Edge' - Relayer' - 'Going For The One' - 'Yessongs' - 'Yesshows' plus, at least 2 box sets.... "Why ?".... I don't know, it seemed the right thing to do at the time !!

I'm not 100% sure, what else is here - I know there are several live sets.... plus DVD's of the band on stage. I just kind of like the band - tho' I'm not really sure what the line up is, at the moment !! I know Jan Anderson was "dumped" by the band, a year or more ago.... I'm not sure who is singing with them now.

One other album, which is a must - if you like any kind of "Prog Rock" is 'Tales From Topographic Oceans'..... 4 tracks & each one a bit of something special. One album, which - quite honestly - I wish I had avoided is 'In The Present - Live From Lyon' !! Ok - I bought it "blind" - knowing nothing about the thing.... but, I really wish I had left it on the shelf !! Oh well.... you pays your money & takes your chances !!

...... That's enough about music, for now. I'm sure I'll find something else, the next time I put fingers to keyboard !!

Ok - my plans for today.... well, I'm just going to lay back, listen to some more music & read a bit more from book 4 of 'A Game Of Thrones'. I had just got to the bit, where King Joff' has choked to death, at his own wedding feast !! Great stuff.... hopefully the character will stay "dead" !! His bad guy, teenage rebellion bit was getting too much.... for me, at least !! Never mind....

So, I will be on my ways... thank you all, for taking the time to read my words, by accident or by design... it's good to know you are out there & Mr Puck-tin hasn't invaded your part of the World... until next time...

Bye Bye
