Hey there -
I guess Derek's the one who originally signed Billy and got him involved with
Yes in the late 80's. I found this in an old issue of Notes from the Edge,
the Yes online newsletter. It's a quote from an interview they did with
Sherwood -
<< X: I'm interested in basically how you met up with Chris, how you
started collaborating, and how your relationship kind of evolved.
BS: We met in 1988, '89, around there, and I had a band World Trade, and it
had its kind of Yesisms about it, and Derek Shulman, who was the lead singer
of Gentle Giant who signed our band World Trade was A&Ring Yes over on Atco and
said to Chris, "Maybe you should meet this guy, because you might like this
stuff," and Chris heard it and dug it, and we ended up meeting each other and I
asked him to sing on the record, he sang on one song, and from that meeting
we just evolved a friendship and a musical relationship with each other over
the years that's blossomed into what we have here. The first song we wrote
together was "The More We Live", which I think is a real special kind of sounding
song, and I knew then that if that was the first thing we did then there could
be some other things that could be really good if we kind of just kept working
together, and that's kind of what we did, I mean, we like each other and
people, started hanging out together, two bass players...

How much is true and accurate?
Some deletions to protect the evil, ha.
Also I didn't realize Billy co-wrote one of my favourites of all time: 'The More we Live, Let Go'.
