Song information
Another Yes cover, but done my way. I wrote the arrangement and played everything but the saxes. They were played by Jamison Smeltz, another bay area musician. Jamison and I share a mutual love for Yes music.
I came up with this arrangement for Then (from the first Yes album) and asked Jason to add a sax part to it. He came back with multiple saxes playing multiple parts. I think he intended for me to pick one, but I used them all because they sounded so good together.

Later I discovered that Jon Anderson and I had a mutual friend who played this song for him. He loved it and asked to meet me over the phone. I spent several hours talking to him. He is one of my musical heroes and I had such a great time talking to him.

Jamison also plays in one of my favorite bands, MirthKon. If you aren't familiar with them check them out here:

Great music.  I love Jon Anderson and Yes.  So cool that you got to talk to him.  What an honor that he liked your song.
