It was Tom Brislin's birthday recently, so on this episode of Yesshift, we talk about his work on the Yessymphonic Tour, as well as what he was up to prior, how he got the gig, and later instances of his interactions involving Yes music and Yes members. All while he got involved with projects like Anderson/Stolt, The Sea Within, Kansas, and more!
