Bruce Thomas Master, Madman, or Hack?

A bit of trivia…Thomas had been in this band, on this song in particular(their most notable); it was something of a hit in the UK but generally overlooked in the US…


Then apparently he was in a pre-Free teen band with Paul Rodgers.

He was Also in a band called Bodast with Pre-Yes Steve Howe.

I caught that, but I’m not sure if he was on any of the recordings.

The album he was on didn’t get released because the record label went bankrupt. Steve Howe issued it as part of a retrospective recently.

The tracks are all over Youtube. You can hear some eventual Yes riffs.

That is Steve "Naive", the nickname they gave him because he was soooo young, fresh-faced and innocent when they pinched him right out of The Royal College of Music (recent grad). His real name is Steve Nason, but the world now only knows his stage name Steve Naive. That is a hip retro vintage shop find that he is wearing. Punk and New Wave defo reached back into the Cocktail Nation classics for their fashion sense. I did too as a teen and in my young '20s. Both Steve and my post 60-year old+ girths could never squeeze into those hip artifacts anymore! We have arrived! lol ;-)
