When this song first came out back in the 70s, we used to joke that Steve Howe wanted to write a song so complicated that no one else would be able to play it. I eventually learned how, but it took months. Even at Steve's age, he still plays it flawlessly. A true virtuoso. I remember writing Steve twice and he wrote back both times. Great video.

@xsited1 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Always loved this song and the entire "Yes Album". And "The Clap" amazed me then and still those. Congrats on learning to play it.

@mikapromotesobesity Well, Mayor of Munchkin Anderson wrote lyrics to this but they took up more time than the song was long so he let Steve Howe do it solo.

I love the ragtime feel of this song. Great playing Steve!
