MR. SHAY WOULD LIKE TO THANK UKSCREEN FOR THIS EXCELLENT WEBSITE AND WE WISH ALL OUR FRIENDS IN THE FILM AND MUSIC INDUSTRIES THE GREATEST SUCCESS IN THEIR ENDEAVORS.
You can also see an example of Mr. Shay's journalism at the official Jon Anderson (lead singer YES) website: jonanderson.com. Click on the Jon Anderson interview link below and read the story "Jon Appears With Contemporary Youth Orchestra In Cleveland." There you will find an interview with Jon as well as a review of the concert. The story also appears on the Official YES Website called "Notes From The Edge" -- www.nfte.org. Click on "Archives" and go to Issue #289. You'll see the story entitled "Jon Anderson Captivates Cleveland."
Feedback from Patty Reeves on the Jon Anderson story:
"I just finished reading your May posting on "Notes from the Edge!" *sigh* Excellent telling! I am left here with the desire to go to my paints and let them call out my name each one to join the others on my canvas. What an excellent question to ask Jon, and a superb answer but more telling of it all was the writer behind it who wove the story for us all to enjoy. I thank you for that!
Kindest Regards, Patty in Florida
