I have seen just one comment from Spain written by a UK guy living in Spain now. Oliver just let you know that you have also fans in Barcelona. I do not know if a lot but, at least, you have a big one.

All your Cds are great stuff.

Thank you very much for them.

Comment: Many years ago Rick opened a door and showed us a path to heavenly and wonderous music. Oliver keeps that door open and makes the path even more beautiful. Thank you Oliver for sharing your music with the world.

Comment: Oliver, Ever since my conception, my parents have played wonderful music, in part, to enrich my life. Among the music I have heard (many times! :-) are your wonderful CDs. When I was getting ready to be born, (while my mom was in labor) we listened to Heaven's Isle, and Chakras, among other music in the classical, "new age", and contemporary piano music genres. It really helped us relax a lot during those many hours...

This Christmas, again, we played your music, just because it's beautiful and it makes my whole family feel good! Thanks for adding your positive spirit to our holidays.

I also enjoy your work with Clive, especially Jabberwocky. I like to stand between the speakers and listen to all the wonderful music, and if you can believe it, I even dance a little bit! Well, my parents say it looks more like I'm trying to surf, but I'm still having fun!

I do treasure my personally autographed Hound CD (((-: That's another fun CD!!! My parents and I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, and we all look forward to a very Happy New Year, fulfilling many of our goals! Take care,

Christopher Treadwell

Comment: Well, it's Feb 4 and the "HOUND" is now officially unleashed! It's a fantastic album that gets better every time I hear it. As with Jabberwocky, it's a great TEAM effort, with the individual talents shining through brightly! It is well written, with excellent performances, and first rate recording quality; what more can you ask for?
Congratulations, Oliver and Clive! Hound will be a big success! Thanks again for more great music!

Comment: I've been reading some of the reviews and also comments about Oliver's work and it seems that everybody insists on comparing him with Rick Wakeman. Of course that we can't avoid comparing, but it seems that people almost want to say that Oliver isn't original, that he only get Rick's tunes and combines them in a new order. Come on, people, the STYLE is the same and it has been happening with classical music (and I consider Oliver, Rick and many others, classical composers). If you listen to Rossini's overture of "The Barber of Seville" you will say "well, it could have been composed by Mozart, it could well be a Mozart's song. So what? That's what makes music special! One composer inspires the other, folk tunes are used in a new and creative way (Tchaikovsky was very criticized during his time because he used to "stole" folk songs and insert them in his works. That's the quality of the real genious!!! Oliver doesn't copy Rick, he has a similar style, a style that we certainly love

I've followed Yes since the early 70's, recalling many appearances whilst living in Buffalo, NY and meeting your Dad at the Salty Dog Saloon (Buffalo) during a solo appearance in Buffalo in the Drama years. Yes we have again been touched by greatness. Thanks Oliver and on with the music!

I just got a keyboard after 10 years of being without one. Needless to say I'm pumped!!
I want to use my computer to help with writing, recording, playing and storing my music.
This midi stuff looks really interesting and I've messed with a few different types of software that is really cool. The problem is I don't know the first thing about it. I don't even know where to hook up the midi cables.
If there is any advice you can throw my way ?

Comment: I have been a fan of Rick Wakeman since I was 13.
25+ years. I was raised a Sothern Baptist in Arkansas and I never knew he was Baptist (there don't seem to be too many of us).It was such an honor and a pleasent surprise to see him and Adam perform at my home church, Horizon Christian Fellowship in San Diego, CA in 1997.
Recently I have been seeing documentarys of my favorite Rock'N'Roll stars on a cable TV music station and most stories, if not all, are pretty horrifying.
