Evenin' A and Doc...
Long time no see.
I love this tune by Yes, but am working off a laptop since the recent demise of the PC, therefore audio sucks majorly.
Glad to see the site still here!

I won't be home on the 3th of February as it's been 50 years sense the day the music died.
The Day the Music Died
On February 3, 1959, American rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, together with pilot Roger Peterson. The event later became known as "The Day the Music Died", after singer-songwriter Don McLean referred to it as such in his 1971 song "American Pie".
At the time, Holly and his band, consisting of Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup, and Carl Bunch, were playing on the "Winter Dance Party" tour across the Midwest. Rising artists Valens, Richardson and Dion and the Belmonts had joined the tour as well. The long journeys between venues on board the cold, uncomfortable tour buses adversely affected the performers, with cases of flu and even frostbite. After stopping at Clear Lake to perform, and frustrated by such conditions, Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead, Minnesota. Richardson, who had the flu, swapped places with Jennings, taking his seat on the plane, while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss.
Soon after takeoff, late at night and in poor, wintry weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the light aircraft, a Beechcraft Bonanza, which subsequently crashed into a cornfield. Everyone on board was killed. The event has since been mentioned in various songs and films. A number of monuments have been erected at the crash site and in Clear Lake, where an annual memorial concert is also held at the Surf Ballroom, the venue that hosted the artists' last performance.

Sorry to hear your desktop is no more. mine had died too about four years ago , but I installed a solid state hard drive and had it programed windows 7 again. It's much cheaper to repair at that time. I think the hard drive was 100 dollars. Don't know why they don't install what as another choice for another 50-100 for a better computer? Like a lap top.
I think a 1,000 as this one lasted about three years when bought in 2011. from Costco.
Do miss the fun in here on weekend nights but not home much.
