Title: Great to be here!

Thanks for the greetings on-air! I've been listening for a few years and finally registered.
If you can, I'd love to hear On the Silent Wings of Freedom by YES. I saw the band recently at the Williamsport Community Arts Center.

That's the very quickest response to a song request I've had in decades! And to think it traveled so far! Thank you!
Thanks for the welcomes from Prog Master and huntr22.
The Yes show was very good--not the best I saw, but they were in excellent form. Alan looked a little winded at the end, and I read somewhere that he'd been suffering from the flu. Steve and Chris were excellent, of course (Steve does need to add a few pounds, and maybe he can pass his diet on to Chris), Oliver Wakeman was good but mixed too low, and Benoit David was a suitable fill-in while Jon recouperates. Apparently something happened to delay Benoit and Oliver's arrival at the theater, and they eliminated Steve's acoustic solos, The Fish, and 3 or 4 other songs, plus their normal intermission, from the set.
I was able to take about 50 pictures and about 30 minutes of video.
The theater is incredible! Here's the link--http://www.pct.edu/commarts/gallery.asp
Best regards!

No problem, JF. My pleasure. :)

Many thanks for the additional photo, that and sharing your views on the gig itself. 8-)

Here's a favorite from the set--it's an old acquaintance of mine, after he climbed on stage and a split second before meeting security (the blur to the right).

LOL!
Mark tends to elicit that kind of reaction from people.
