IGOR "Ivan" KHOROSHEV Birthday: July 14, 1965 Spouse: Randie Children: Sebastian Igorevich Khoroshev (Michelle Austin I found this at the Igor Khoroshev site on Yeshoo, so I'm pretty sure that it's accurate) ******************************************************* From: david foster [Co-Author of TIME AND A WORD and more] [Regarding a querry about multiple David Fosters in the music industry...] Sorry about the confusion. The other David Foster was born in Canada. I was born September 46 in Liverpool. Met Jon in Accrington 62. David ******************************************************* From: Sir James Organization: Penn State University Hello, just a short note to give you some of your requested birthdays of the band members. Rick Wakeman (heard on the radio on the day of his birthday) is May 19, 1949. Patrick Moraz's birthday is June 24, 1948, I don't remember where I heard that one. Hope I helped, Jim. ******************************************************* From: CONAGAL@frmail.rosemount.com Steve Howe's birthday is April 8, 1947. He just turned 49 about a week ago. I got this info from an old Guitar Player magazine (1978) in which he discusses the Going for the One LP, etc. Conall Gallagher, Howe fanatic ******************************************************* Special Thanks to Topographic Sounds for the birthday details. ================================================================ Jon Anderson's current wife, Jane Luttenberger Anderson, sings on a number of his recent projects (e.g. _The Promise Ring_, _Earthmotherearth_ and _The More You Know_). Damion Anderson is the boy on "Circus of Heaven" and he was behind the 'Close 2 the Hype' rap Yes adaptation. Deborah Anderson has done backing vocals on various projects, including _Union_, _Deseo_ and _The Best of South America_. She's now recording a solo album after releasing the single 'Lonely Without You' last year. Nikki Squire has her own group Esquire (Chris, White and Horn all helped on their first album) and did backing vocals on "Hold Out Your Hand" (_Fish Out of Water_). (It's also been suggested that she does backing vocals on "Run with the Fox".) A third Esquire album is due soon. One of the Squires' daughters (Carmen?) also does backing vocals on the first, eponymous Esquire album. Janet Howe did some lyrics on _In the Grand Scheme of Things_. Dylan Howe drums on _In the Grand Scheme of Things_ and _Quantum Guitar_ and for the (UK terrestrial TV) show Late Lunch; "Clap" was written on the occasion of his birth. Virgil Howe plays keyboards on _In the Grand Scheme of Things_ and it was for him that "Second Initial" was written (as he doesn't have one). "Georgia's Theme" was, not surprisingly, written for Georgia. Nina Wakeman is a former model and has done vocals on some of Rick's solo work. Adam is a keyboardist, with a solo career and who has worked with Rick, Jon Anderson and Yes, and Oliver is another keyboardist, with one solo album out. I vaguely remember that Benjamin Wakeman is also a keyboard player. There are a few minor omissions in Yesman's page (so I've cc'd this message to Yesman too). It omits that Peter Banks, while currently single, used to be married to Sydney Foxx (presumably a stage name that), who did the vocals in Empire. Trevor Horn is married to Jill Sinclair. [Thanks, Henry. Currently updated.] Yesman has that Tony Kaye is married to Carmen Squire. I know they were going out together, but I didn't know that they had married. Further, Carmen is Chris's step-daughter -- she's from Nikki's first marriage and was about three when Nikki and Chris married. The alt.music.yes FAQ webpages have some info on family members, see: http://www.bondegezou.demon.co.uk/amy_faq.htm#family and http://www.bondegezou.demon.co.uk/wh_now.htm#deborah and #jane, #dylan, #nikki, #adam, #oliver and #nina Henry Potts ================== hello sir, i'm not sur if you still run the yes museum internet site but i came across a slight mistake i would like to rectify: rick wakeman's second wife was called "Danielle Corminboeuf" and not "Diane Corminbouef".... i know this may seem minor to you but not for me it is also certain rick was born on the 18th, whoever thought it may be on the 19th was mistaken. great site by the way! really enjoyed browsing around bumping into allsorts of things i had never seen before. all the best, ben
