I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Okay, I'll make this short n sweet...I'm from Iowa. I came here because a favorite musician of mine has a place here at MySpace...anyone who wants to see who I'm talkin' about, go here

Also,thanks to the newest MySpace Player, I was able to find some YES music to add to my profile--BY the actual group! YES music is not that easy to play, as I've seen some of the sheet music on other sites, and I about did a double take on the keyboard parts.

But I am not about to let a challenge stop me from learning my favorite music by Yes! Especially now that I DO have a guitar--recently purchased as of late April. And yes, Jon was the source of my wanting to pick up the instrument again. My practice times are sadly haphazard, as I work the swing shift at a nearby casino, but I manage to get in at least 3 1/2-hr sessions a week.

Oh, yeah, and I just managed to order "Tales From Topographic Oceans." I can sum it up in four words:

GORGEOUSLY. TRIPPY. AS. ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! o_O

Yeah, you could say I like it. But more accurately, I love it!!! If Jon's first major master-work was "Olias," then "Topographic," to me, is its Yes-based counterpart. Okay, so "Olias" came after "Topographic," but since time is an illusion, anyway...does it matter? ;-)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If I meet no one else...Jon Anderson will always be the one I'd want to meet in person. If there is any musician in the world whose work and voice shine a ray of hope and peace into my life, it is most definitely Jon. Vangelis comes in at a very close second...and they're both "Green Men" of my heart, as their collaborations have indeed shown the light on my way Home.But there will always be that extra something about Jon that forever captures my attention...maybe it's that air of peace he always seems to have...maybe it's just his music and voice...maybe it's all of that...I just know my life has been positively affected by his work in a major way...because other musicians have had an effect on me, but not like Jon's music does.
