ALAN WHITE CD RELEASE PARTY WELL WISHER’S (drummer for YES)

WELCOME WHITE   by kk ryder 4/06 CD release party well wishers welcome progressive rock drummer Alan White of Yes  fame and his new band… White!  White is the name of Alan’s new really kewl  rock band, no not The white band or even White Band, nope, it s just simply WHITE! A little progressive and although at times very reminiscent in the undertones of the vocal harmonies of Yes, this band definitely has a sound all their own! If the elbow to elbow attendance at the World Famous/infamous rock and  roll fishing – hole  known as The Edgewater Inn located on pier 57 in Seattle Monday night was any indication of this bands popularity, than we just may have yet another band blastin  off & straight outta Seattle and into the arms of the World!  This party was fun and full of so much love in the room as 30 small TV sets connected the bands every movement of a pre-taped video performance from New Year 2006 the band members got to mix it up, laugh and mingle with the attendees. “Have pen will travel” that s my moto & so I commenced to have a little fun and let the crowd become part of my lil review and simply let them tell me their thoughts n feelings and I have included some below & thanx for a night of MIGHTY LOVE… WHITE! We all wish you Peace, Love and Eternal Grooviness as vivid as the Roger Dean  artwork that has graced the Yes album covers of yesterday and well into the future… and the future of WHITE!
