File:Jon Anderson with ukulele 2.jpgYes is arguably the most talented band in rock history.

Q: I noticed you're heading out to Australia in a month or two, will those be your first shows of 2013?
Jon Anderson: Yeah, I decided this year that I was going concentrate on finishing a lot of work in the studio. My studio is chockablock full of music.
