FOR YEARS IVE KEPT IN MY MIND A STORY JOHN WETTON TOLD ME ABOUT AN ASIA SONG he penned with Geoff Downes in the early 1980s, called Daylight.
Asia, a progressive pop rock supergroup formed in 1981, had spent a long and gloomy winter toughing it out in the Great White North completing their self-titled debut.
The big event of our day was looking out the window to see how many moose walked past the lake, Wetton said. When youve been in Canada for six months in darkness and suddenly the dawn breaks, its gorgeous. It started to look clear again and thats when I wrote [the song]. Ive never been so glad to see daylight in my life.
Daylight encapsulates the private thoughts of the songwriter ruminating on the dawning of a new day, but also something much more universal: Wetton, in clear, bold language, imparts illuminating lyrics of survival, revelation, and spiritual transformation.
The songs positive message (and the courage it instilled in me) was one of my motivations for writing this book. Because Daylight has been a beacon, I say, thank you, prog rock.
These acknowledgments wouldnt be complete without mentioning some of those whove given me their valuable time and wisdom (ushering in their own form of daylight) for this work. These include Bill Bruford, the Moody Blues, Ian Anderson, Derek Shulman, Kerry Minnear, Beppe Crovella, Annie Haslam, Greg Lake, Eric Woolfson (R.I.P.), Steve Howe, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Gianni Leone, Danny Brill, Ian McDonald, Gustavo Moretto, Hugh Hopper (R.I.P.), Phil Ehart, Eddie Jobson, Jonathan Mover, Paul Northfield, Jordan Rudess, Lori Lousararian, Peter Sinfield, Mel Collins, Ray Bennett, Carol Kaye, Brian Kelleher, Terry Ellis, Lori Hehr, Peter Morticelli, David Hadland, Dan Hanley, Leonardo Pavkovic, Anne Leighton, Patrick Moraz, Billy Sherwood, Pat Mastelotto, David Rohl, Lee Jackson, Keith Emerson, Trey Gunn, Iconic Music, Steven Wilson, Richard Barbieri, Bruce Pilato, Andy Leff, Eileen Craddock, Michael Farley, Lindsey Nutter, Martin Orford, Peter Nicholls, Peter Noble, Graham Smith, Peter Banks, Erika Tooker, Kaitlin Lindsey, Wil Sharpe, Dale Newman, Nick Davis, Michael Lavigne, and the hundreds of other generous interviewees too numerous to name here. I thank you.
I also want to thank my wife and soul mate, Sharon; George and Judy Bailey; my brother, Michael; Tony Long Distance Runaround Romano; Jim Kelly; my boyhood neighbor Dave Penna (now a full-time musician and multi-instrumentalist with the band Ad Astra); Vincent Tallarida (remember spinning ELP and King Crimson?); Anthony Bernard (a keyboard whiz and Genesis fan); longtime friend Gary Jansen; Jim Goodin; Polly Watson, this books excellent copy editor; Marybeth Keating; Carol Flannery; and my patient editor at Backbeat/Hal Leonard, Mike Edison. Thanks for seeing this through to the end.
