13. I listened to Yes a LOT in the 70s.

Rick is quite talented. He is an absolute virtuoso. Also, his album "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" was all the rage at the time as well.

There's a great interview of Dr. Brian May by Rick Wakeman on Youtube. You would not think a keyboard player would know so much about a guitarist, but Rick is complimented by Brian for knowing so much about him. They also share a common interest in astrophysics and go to an annual astronomy conference in Tenerife.

The YouTube channel this is on is called progrock70s.

Rick: "Most people who climb on the roof of Buckingham Palace get arrested."

Brian:"My wife said, 'rehearse'. Rehearsal is something fairly unfamiliar to me."
