He dropped the "h" from his name after he had a dream in which he was called Jonathon.

Really? I never knew that.

Does anybody remember when he called himself Hans Christian?

Jon and Tony both worked with my dad on Procters farm when they were kids, and when i was a kid my dad took me to Tony's house on the Isle of Wight.

I must admit to loving Yes and Jon's other colaborations, his voice is so haunting.

I bought that record! Doesn't anybody else remember it?

" You ask me if there'll come a time when I grow tired if you.
Never my love.
You ask me if this heart of mine will lose it's desire for you
Never my love."

I thought it was Andy Williams, or the Associaction, Who recorded that song.

I can't say i've heard it by Jon, but i have heard The Associatons version.

Its listed in Jons discogrophy on the webiste for 1968, would love to hear it though as its got great lyrics.

I spoke to his brothers Tony & Stuart last night and they have spoken with him recently. After a bad asthma spell which put him into a coma, his doc has said No more touring for a year. John lives in LA (That's not Lower Accrington)

He has posted a bulletin on the YES website.

Tony is a pastor living in Isle of Wight. recently at a church do he met a man he had worked with at Ewbank, but couldn't recall his name.

I remember Tony talking about working on Procter's farm. I think he took a job there on leaving the Grammar School. I took part in skiffle sessions with Tony in their Norfolk st house.

Their sister Joy is well too.

Glad to hear Jon is recuperating.

His version of 'Never My Love' was NOTHING like the version by the Association. It was absolutely fantastic. The end was incredible. There was a radio DJ called "The Baron" who I used to like but went off when he described the record as 'noise' and said the B side "All of the time" (or was it a double A?) sounded like a load of lunatics trying to break out of an asylum! Unfortunately I loaned a lot of my vinyl to someone who promised I would get them back but they did a runner and that was amongst the stuff I now no longer have. I do wish I could hear it again.

Do you still have their address Willow? I've lost countless records the same way.:mad:
Its a rare record and worth a pretty penny if not just in sentiment.
