Description
This is a song I dedicated to Jon Anderson (its development was achieved through sketches of two songs presented to Jon, and input from our very own Cameron). It was previously uploaded here as "Rhapsody in Paradigm" last October under my pseudonym of Eikonoklastes (sorry for being duplicitous). Upon receiving the completed "The Healing (Rhapsody)" as my Holiday/Happy New Year gift to him.
Many of you may not know that Jon Anderson of "YES" fame suffered an Asthma attack last May. He hd been diagnosed with acute respiratory failure and was told by doctors that he needed to rest and not work for a period of at least six months or suffer further health complications. The 40th Anniversary Tour was postponed.
In a 28th of November article, White said, "Jon is slowly recovering. He's had four or five operations, but he wouldn't be ready to go out for eight or nine months.
Anderson appears to be focusing on his solo career and some other collaborations, but it is unclear how his protracted ill health has effected plans.
More on Anderson: Where Are They Now - Jon Anderson
Having been in contact with him for over a year now, and collaborating on several musical projects, our work has resumed amidst his healing process.
I recently received this email from Jon:
...always love your work.......I've just got my studio up and running.......so the new Year will be crazy with work to finish.....i love your 'Journey' work......I will sing it soon......just tried to call you.....happy everything....jon (my kid was on the phone at the time!) He also sent me an attached mp3 of his song, "Ave Verum" from the "Toltec" album.
Peace, and thanks for listening,
Alimar
