Kevin - I can play some Yes and Rush tunes well, there's just some parts that floor me. That measure in Villa, there's a part in "And You And I" that I've never been able to master (right before "I listened hard but could not see") in 25+ years of playing now. LOL I guess we all have our demons.
The few times I've jammed with folks on YYZ I've felt like I could hang with the song. And I used to play "The Trees" in a band...
Have never found any musicians interested in trying to cover a Yes tune...execpt that brief brush with "Long Distance Runaround" while I was playing guitar.
John - Sting is cool. I really like some of his jazzier solo work, and as I grow older and mellower I'm really starting to appreciate the Police - in fact maybe a little regretful that I ignored them as a HS/College kid while they were starting to happen. His point about playing and singing is well taken, and from a player such as Sting should serve as instructive.
