Here's a couple of songs from the new album 'The Ladder'. Its got a sorta bossa nova intro. I don't know where we got the bossa nova from but it sorta somehow crept into [???] studio one day when we were doing this next song which is just sort of a fun jump up song called high life if your in Trinidad.

Jon Anderson:
Thanks so much, thank you. It was a great time when we were rehearsing for this..uh new album. We were..we just finished touring what seemed like a year and a half we've been around the world a little bit and..uh to rehearse we were more like just jamming a lot and having a lot of musical fun and so this next song came out of that sort of jamming sorta thing [???] it's a song about the new language and we all know what the new language is.

Thank you so much, thank you. Thank you. Uh..I'd like to..uh thank you all for coming along this evening and..uh I, I always wanted to do Disney W..Disney World. I always wanted to play in Disney World. It's really crazy but about about 20 years ago I came here and I saw this band playing in the park and I thought 'I want to play at Disney World'. So dreams do come true! I want to thank you for staying with the band for such a long time. We really appreciate it.
