Funny, I had tickets to see Yes this past summer and the tour was cancelled because of Jon Anderson's breathing problems. I am 51, and it's occurred to me that my rock heroes are going to start leaving us pretty soon, and I wondered how it would feel. Now I know... like a punch to the gut. I've seen Pink Floyd several times, and was fortunate to see Rick playing with David Gilmour at Radio City a year or two ago. I certainly didn't know the man, but I feel like I do.
A simple, beautiful, distinctive style on the piano and a keyboard pioneer in his own (W)right. Thank you, Rick... wish you were here.
