The one hundred and twelfth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring a fantastic interview with one of the most influential Yes Fans in the world, Steve Sullivan. He is one of the founders of the amazing fan site, ForgottenYesterdays.com and has been heavily involved in the Voices for Yes campaign to have Yes inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.

STOP PRESS - 

Erratum from Steve - Keith Levene wasn't a member of the Sex Pistols, he was a co-founder with 'Johnny Rotten' (John Lydon) of Public Image Ltd., Lydon's post-Pistols band.  Levene was also an early member of  the Clash, though he was already out the band by the time they made their first album.

* What is Steve's own Yes story?

* How did Forgotten Yesterdays come about and what's on the site?

* How can you get involved with the Voices for Yes campaign?
