I don't know.  The next time I talk to my brother, I'll ask him.  I
don't know if Yes gave them permission, but I believe that there is
something in the music copyright laws that allows anyone to cover a song
if they pay the proper royalties, without having to get permission.  Is
this right?  Maybe remixes count as covers?

Are we going to hear third party remixes of RUTH.  God, I hope not!
(Unless, of course, it turns out good!)
