Goodbye 2020 – 462

Lewis Clarke / West Devon : Yes Tor / CC BY-SA 2.0

Recorded on the last day of 2020, we bid a grateful farewell to a year which has been difficult for everyone. However, it's also been one of the most successful years for the YMP!

Mark and I have chosen our own 6 favourite episodes from the past year and we invite you to add your own selections to the comments below.

We also look ahead briefly to 2021 which is, of course, the 10th Anniversary Year of the YMP, hence the photo of Yes Tor above. It would be fantastic if you were able to join in the recording of the 500th episode from the top of Yes Tor in Devon, UK on 17th August 2021. Many more details to follow!

We hope to see you there!

Happy New Year From Mark and Kevin to all!

Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org
