Qua, Thanks for the flattering comment! Just having fun; luckily I had a VERY good audience that night as they were almost all there to see the Yes tribute band, and Yes fans are IMO attentive, sophisticated, and also like to rock! That particular band, Parallels, was sublime, focusing on the Yes Album/Fragile/Close to the Edge-era stuff, but they also whipped out a mean 'Gates of Delirium'. Check 'em out if you get a chance. If some folks out there (particularly in the States) are looking for more performance opportunities, I highly recommend opening for Prog tribute bands; their built-in audiences are amazing, and the bands themselves appreciate a solo opener that doesn't take up too much space on stage as they don't have to strike their gear after soundcheck. Here in the States there are a lot of truly great tribute bands, and they all of course have built-in followings; they barely even have to promote.

Greg, IMO this represents a superb blend of musicianship, composition, and technology ! -Qua -----Original Message----- From: greg williams [mailto:gregorwilliams@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 10:25 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: New You Tube Video Hi Folks, I just posted a new video up on Youtube if anyone is interested. It's a live performance in Sacramento, where I was opening for a Yes tribute band called 'Parallels' - they're really good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEI9RSsW5eo Usual disclaimers: My performance is a little sloppy (I was getting some fret rattle that week) and there is quite a bit of crowd and bar noise, but what the heckle...
