Thanks, I think I half heard a trailer but didn't catch the timing.

I was driving back from somewhere during the week and whispering Bob mentioned something about it on the radio so I looked it up on BBC site.

It was all about rhythms. 4 part series.

Wow! Episode 1 is a Yes-Fest with almost all of Close to the Edge played either in the forefront or as backdrop to a conversation with Bill Bruford (who's a lot kinder to the music than he has been in some interviews).

Chris Squire shines as always... what a tone!

[TimR]

Tonight is Keyboards. Deep Purple, ELP, Yes, and Genesis.

Interview is with Tony Banks (Genesis).

Should be a good one.

part 4 on Monday where he's talking to Ian Anderson

[visog]

Part 3 is glorious! Oodles of distorted bass care of Squire, Wetton & Mahavishnu's Rick Laird

Comparison of R&R bass vs. Prog with Mr Squire. Great to hear UK on Radio 2...
