We are saddened at WBLM to hear news of the passing of the all-time great musicians, Chris Squire. It was reported that he died on June 27 at the age of 67, after a battle with leukemia. He was a founding member of the band, Yes and a legendary bass player in the history of rock. In fact, it's more appropriate to refer to him as a bass guitarist. Chris Squire brought so much more to music than just the bottom sound. He played licks and melodies like a lead guitar player. It is very likely that he inspired many young bass players over the years to get themselves a Rickenbacker and attempt to learn his parts.

Tonight at 5:20 we'll play live Yes in memory of Chris Squire on the WBLM Mini-Concert.
