Hi. Brian came up with a great idea to
collect information about all of the awards YES has earned over their
carreer.
We're very hopeful that you can contribute to this effort.
We are looking for any
awards that
YES may have received over the last
35 years.
If you know of any, please eMail Lee
or send a note to Nick Kokoshis
We're looking for greater
details, when possible, including the full list when Yes is in the
chart.
Magazine cover scans would also be helpful.
Thank you.
-
Shoji, Brian, Lee, Eddie, and
Nick.
