Six Degrees of Yes

[YesNY]

Time for a non-Jon Davison thread.

Bill Bruford to Alan White
Bill Bruford played with
1. Robert Fripp (King Crimson) who played with
2. Greg Lake (King Crimson) who played with
3. Ringo Star (Ringo Starr's All Star Band) who played with
4. George Harrison and John Lennon (The Beatles) who played with
5. Alan White (GH's "All Things Must Pass" album and JL's Plastic Ono Band)

Bummer. I was hoping for six degrees. The end person does not have to be a Yes member, but anyone who can connect Steve Howe to Trevor Rabin in six steps gets a gold star.

And anyone who can connect Jon Anderson to Jon Davison gets two gold stars!

With Howe and Rabin, outside their work on Yes, they both contributed to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Welcome to the Pleasuredome album produced by Trevor Horn

Good catch, Reflections! Now a gold star is hinging on the answer to the following question: Were they ever in the same room at the same time, and did they ever make eye contact? (Just saying, "Um, I like your rug," does not count!)

:)

Steve and Trevor have both played on Wiggles albums under Steve Wiggle and Trevor Wiggle. btw, Steve, Trevor, Jon and Jon have all slept with Kevin Bacon's wife. ;-)

Most likely no. I know Steve plays guitar on the title track, "Welcome to the Pleasuredome." But don't know what specific track(s) Rabin plays on.

Well at least Steve, Trevor, Jon and Jon weren't committing incest at the time. From Wikipedia:

Bacon and [wife Kyra] Sedgwick learned in 2011 via Sedgwick's appearance on the TV show Who Do You Think You Are? that she and Bacon are 10th cousins, once removed.

Disgusting!

[luvyesmusic]

They have the same feet/toes. ;-) LMAO

Well, Steve then must be wearing an inverse toupee, because last time I checked if he balds anymore his brain will pop out.

Actually my original comment was in reference to one of Steve's "force field" stage-floor rugs... Just kidding, Steve! :)

Here's another easy one: Jon Anderson to Monty Python......-> Jon A. appeared in 9012LIVE, Directed by Stephen Soderbergh, who also diected OCEAN'S ELEVEN, which starred Brad Pitt, who also appeared in 12 MONKEYS which was directed by Terry Gilliam. Easy peasy.

I have to admit, I cheated a little bit to get that sixth step in by using Simon Phillips.

90125 + 11 + 12 = 90148

I don't get it???

(Just kidding. Great Yes connection, SoLrSaYlR!)

Sorry, Caroline, I was making a joke regarding of how the whole concept of Six Degrees ( of Keven Bacon) started. My apologies to Mr. Bacon and Ms. Sedgwick. The Wiggles is absolutely true though. ;-)

I got the joke (and liked it!)

I hope the part about Steve Wiggle and Trevor Wiggle was a joke, too... God, do I hope so!
