20. Oh my gosh...

Sorry to hear this.

And while I was in high school and college during the 70's, I was one of those weirdos that pursued anything "dance" (ya, one of those)...but the sound of Yes was distinctive.

I've run those clips of Roundabout, 4 times...now we've been racking out brains how and where we heard it so much (would have been in Portland, Corvallis and/or Eugene), that we automatically knew that intro and most of the words are on autopilot.

RIP Chris.
