chuck kottke Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Pieces of the puzzle Well, I did some searching, and found something on http://www.scaruffi.com/music.html. The History of YES did mention, "Wakeman returned to YES for Going for the one (1977) that contains Turn of the Century, Wonderous Stories, and the 15-minute Awaken. So far so good. Maybe Rolling Stone Magazine's archive has more? Interviews done back in the late 70's? Any Suggestions??? -Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 More Details! Aparently, Wakeman's influences include Renaissance music and Vangelis. Hmm.. How far back can one take this? Anyone got wakeman's phone number??:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
