Last night, news came out that Johnny Bruhns, who had been fighting cancer, passed away. He was a guitarist who worked with multiple Yes members and was in Yes tribute band Total Mass Retain for a bit not too long ago. And of course, he was a husband and a father. An album titled Welcome to the Kingdom, which he worked on and remastered over the years, has just been rereleased on Bandcamp, and all proceeds go to his widow Laurie. https://johnnybruhns.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-kingdom People can also purchase his instruments that were put up for sale: https://reverb.com/shop/gear-garage-731
