you can send stuff to Jon via the Opio Foundation. I can assure you he does receive them. He and his wife Jane live in San Luis Obispo, CA, though they travel quite a bit..........

I myself considered writing a few lines to Jon. The problem in describing my thankfulness to him and Yes in general is that they are such a unique thing to me, and the messages I could come up with just looked like "just another Yes fans blah blah". I think they've touched too deep into my soul to describe it in words.

As philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once said, about those things you can't talk about, it's better to say nothing at all.

I will let my devotion to Yes fly on silent wings...

... when I (and the fifteen other fans who stuck around for the one and a half hours it took for them to emerge) got to meet Jon and the band at the stage entrance in Oslo last November, I was hugely annoyed at the girl who just had to tell him her life story in those precious few moments before they were whisked off in a van. I was annoyed mainly because that was what I wanted to do! Anyway I got a good chat with Tom Brislin (nobody else seemed to know who he was...)

I wonder what all this adoration feels like for someone like Jon. Maybe it's just as well that we on our part keep the distance and the myth alive. I mean how's Jon going to deal, in a way that doesn't turn silly, with a 37-year old fan who essentially wants to ask him "How did you know that THOSE lyrics to THAT particular song were just what I needed to hear at that important moment in my life back in '78?"...

That girl got a hug, anyway...
