But we want to fret. That’s why we’re here!
Those of us not singing, drumming, or keyboarding, anyway…
I for one, love all that you’ve done to date with Wonder Wednesdays. Thank You!
Please, by all means, take your time…. the awesomely good stuff is always well worth the wait!

After being away for a while, I realised that the Chicago project has now concluded. It’s been a truly epic journey, thanks for all the effort put into the project. You’ve made me appreciate Chicago so much more.
Just catching up on the Stevie, great songs and great customs. Thank you so much for everything! You’re a legend.

Thank you sir. The Wonder man will return after a short break I promise.
LATEST UPDATE 4/29 Yes – Yours is No Disgrace
GUITAR/BASS/KEYS: sageamagoo
DRUMS: MrBurpler
Very much a whole group effort, “Yours is No Disgrace” features songwriting credit for all members. Indeed, while Yes fully embraced cover songs on the first two albums, they avoided them for this rebirth. Jon Anderson provided some of his most visual, yet compact lyrics up until that time on “Yours is No Disgrace.” Believed to be Yes’ first anti-war song, it conjures images of children entangled in a conflict of their parents.Musically, “Yours is No Disgrace” jumps out of the speaker. With the blend of Bill Bruford’s snare drum, Steve Howe’s Gibson ES175 and Chris Squire’s Rickenbacker bass blasting off in stiletto harmony. Tony Kaye’s husky Hammond organ joins the march, then gives way to a Moog synthesizer break. Howe comes back with a fleet-fingered lead passage, which is supported by a moving, trebly bass run and snare-centered shuffle. Amazingly, “Yours is No Disgrace” takes the band to a new musical height and a not a word has been sung.When Jon Anderson and the chorus of Chris Squire with Steve Howe come in with the first verse, you can’t help but believe this is how Yes was meant to sound. Eddie Offord’s mix verges on perfection, allowing each voice and instrument to be separate and distinctive yet not out of place. Chris Squire’s bass sound is like nothing else in rock, and keeps the song galloping along with Bill Bruford’s unique rhythmic contributions. Squire goes into a jazz-like bass walk, before another vocal break down.Many bands would quit while they were ahead, but Yes forges on with an additional solo section and verse. The solo section deserves special mention, as Steve Howe evokes jazz and psychedelic elements in his Gibson-driven solo. His use of the volume pedal and distortion adds an additional element to the solo, and the section could be an entire song in itself. A Hammond/Moog-propelled final verse is added and before you know it almost 10:00 minutes has passed.“Yours is No Disgrace” is a classic, and just one on several on The Yes Album.Love this! Thank you so much! I will be grabbing it when I get my drums set back up! LOVE Yes in RB!
Thanks everybody. This was a true team effort. More prog to come
