I wish they'd re-name themselves. Maybe . . . Yes, Again.

But it is NOT YES for me without the Keeper of the flame - Chris Squire. Without Chris Squire is just is not YES to me. He was THE glue that held that band together, through thick and thin, year in, year out. The only member of the band that never left. He was in every version of YES. He was a phenomenal bass player and was responsible for taking the bass out of the rhythm section and putting it front and center as a solo instrument. And his solos were EPIC. I even had his solo effort, "Fish Out of Water." Pure Squire.

I cried the day he died. A rare form of a rare form of Leukemia, just like my grandfather.

Remember the Squire Stomp !
