Ok my lovely Anglicans! How cool is this! Duke Ellington was Anglican! I mean, can you say coolness! How cool is that really! I mean, if there was a coolness scale, this would be right of the scale, I mean right off of it! And guess who else? Julie Garland! How neat is that? Anybody know anymore?


O.K. I forgot. They were Episcopalians. American Anglicans are supposed to be called Espiscopalian, right?

I am a Yes fan. My first rock concert was Yes, back in 1987 - Wakeman wasn't in the band then, though.

I had heard Wakeman was Christian - this article indicates he is Baptist:

WOW - Thanks for bringing me a fabulous blast from the past. :wave:

I was a DIE HARD YES fan in my late teens and twenties. RIck Wakeman was a total idol for me - probably because he used pipe organ in some of the YES tunes! Their music was so symphonic - also Genesis.

I can still remember the exact point of the tunes where the 8-Track would click over. (kinda dates me, huh? ^_^)

Ok. Not to be obnoxious and make anybody feel "dated"( I like that word! Thanks Chalice!) But what's and 8-track? I'[m assuming it's some sort of record with music. What do the look like?

Oh - I thought I had heard he was Anglican. Oh well, at least we got to think back to all that great music! :)

8-tracks are to music as betas are to movies (and I actually remember betas!) and as atari is to video games (good memories)...

^_^

Ah yes, I certainly DO feel dated now! ^_^

8 track cassette tapes were "the latest technology" back in the 70s. At a certain point in time, the song would fade out, you'd hear a bick *click* , the tape would change tracks, and then the song would fade up right where it left off.

Needless to say - that "technology" didn't last too long - but it was all the rage back in my youth.
