Chris and Alan look for a new guitar player, they find Trevor Rabin(via an ELP record executive had a tape of Trevor?)The first time Chris and Trevor jam, it was one of the one of the worst jams ever! Tony Kaye was asked to play keyboards in the group. The band called themselves Cinema. Cinema was recording in LA, when Jon sang backup on some tracks. Then Jon sang on all the tracks. The band then changes the name to Yes90125
"Set your heart sail on the river. Look around you as you drift downstream. Pouring souls into the ocean. Take account of all you've seen. "
