More on Rick Wakeman
Description from Wikipedia:
Richard Christopher Wakeman (born 18 May 1949 in Perivale, London) is an English keyboard player, composer, and songwriter known as the keyboardist for progressive rock group Yes. Originally a classically trained pianist, he was a pioneer in the use of electronic keyboards and in the use of a rock band in combination with orchestra and choir. He purchased his first electronic keyboard, a Minimoog, from the actor Jack Wild. Wakeman was able to buy it for half the regular selling price because Wild thought it did not work as it only played one note at a time. He hosts a regular radio show on Planet Rock. He is considered by many to be one of the best rock keyboardists of all time.
