John Wetton was an amazing bass player, an amazing singer and was actually a pretty nice guy. Unfortunately he died of colon cancer way too early. I got to meet him a couple of times, in Las Vegas and in the Caribbean. Very gracious man. But none of that matters when we listen to his music, which we are going to let speak for itself in this family pick. I have two of these that I am going to post. This first one I call his rock side. But these are slightly arbitrary. It's hard to say which is which at times, so if I overstep one of your boundaries, sorry. You can yell at me in the comments. I also have most likely missed some great tracks. Please mention them as well. John was the founder of Asia, did lots of guest work and played in several bands. This is mostly Asia and some solo work. But you'll hear as you go.
