Exclusive Interview with FBPO’s Jon Liebman
June 3, 2013

Chris Squire is the founder and bass player for the British supergroup Yes.
FBPO: It was great meeting you at Bass Player Live! last year and hearing so many great stories. I know our followers would be very interested in hearing a little bit about the early days before we work up to today. Would that be all right with you?
CS: Sure!
FBPO: Okay, then why don’t we start from the beginning? How would you describe your musical upbringing?
CS: That was mainly in the Church of England, at my local church, where I was in the choir. I got very good musical training there because we had a very good choirmaster. He was very enthusiastic about music and he was young, so he made it really interesting for me and the other guys in the choir.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
