Yes Album Listening Guides – Tales From Topographic Oceans Part 8 – The unsung hero, Genaro Rippo – 623

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller It seems like a long time since the last episode but it’s not. Anyway, it was delightful to speak to a warm and friendly unsung hero of Yes last week. As you will hear, despite being very keen to be involved, Mark wasn’t able to join in the conversation due to timing and technical issues but he will be back next week. Genaro actually contacted me quite some time ago and introduced himself. It’s taken ages to coordinate a time to speak but I’m sure you’ll agree that it was well worth the effort and I’m sure he will be joining us again soon. The console Eddie Offord designed and Genaro Rippo operated at Yes live concerts. GENNARO-RIPPO-CVDownload He has asked me not to open the comments function on the show notes for this week but you can still send comments on what you hear to me via email [email protected] or by using the contact form. Please do send me your thoughts. What was Genaro's role with Yes? Why is he a 'mystery man'? What albums and live events was he involved in? Let us know if you agree with us!
