Jon Anderson

John Roy Anderson hails from Lancashire England and was born way back in 1944. I saw him live back during the 90125 tour. I always felt a kinship with him as he aligns himself with the elf culture and meditates with crystals and dream catchers. This first clip is a collaboration with Greek musician Vangelis. It’s a classic to me, one you never hear on the radio.

Another Yes favorite of mine is “Wonderous Stories”. It captures the things I most enjoy about a multidimensional reality.

Jon has a website but it is rather disappointing. I didn’t find any music there, only links to buy music at amazon.com. A lot of the links didn’t work and the whole site seemed slow. The one cool thing is Jon’s artwork. It's worth a visit just to see his watercolors. You can find it here.


I went also to his myspace page. At least there was a few songs. Again, links that do not work. Come on Jon, get your act together.

His art work is there as well along with a dead link to "The Teachings of Don Juan" which is a favorite book of mine.

Rumor has it that Jon is working on a rap opera.
