Mark and I really enjoyed discussing what Yes virtuosity means to us with the help of YMP Patrons Brian Harris, Michael OConnor, HB Pettersen, Jon Pickles, Dave Owen, Gary Betts, Mark Slater and Ronnie Neeley this week. Can you guess what we all chose for our examples of Yes virtuosity? You might be surprised, as Mark and I were.

There were some common themes that emerged which is always encouraging because it means we are not on our own in our thoughts about the band. So thank you to all those Patrons but do have your own say by adding a comment to the show notes for this week.

What does virtuosity mean?

Who deserves the description?

Does it just mean playing fast?

Argghhh! Apologies again to those who sent in entries to the quiz from a couple of weeks ago. I did forget this time! I’ll be announcing the winner next week - someone remind me!

Let us know if you agree with us!
