Keyboardist Geoff Downes' birthday happened recently. So we decided to dedicate an episode to highlights from his career. But first, we touch upon the passing of Charlie Watts and read Alan White's tribute to The Rolling Stones drummer. Afterward, we talk about Geoffrey Mason's video of Downes performing "White Car" in 2015 and then touch upon Downes' work across different eras, including musical activities related to The Buggles, Yes, Asia, Greg Lake, Downes Braide Association, and even solo. Give this episode a listen, and you may find that there are albums you should check out!
