Thanks to my wife for this story. She was interested in, and enjoyed Yes, until going to see them live. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

FOR THE RECORD, WIP: Marcella Detroit
I was put on the spot by my young son, who asked what my favourite song of all time was.
As he wasn't interested in the response I gave, (which you might expect me to give); "Oh, that's impossible to answer / so many songs / depends on my different moods", he ignored all that, and demanded the answer. I found myself offering Marcella Detroit's I Believe.
Who knew?
