Stubbles on his face sure do give him that effect (giggling) - not his usual PBS look or attire, that's for sure.

My life is over if we find out Esteban is a serial rapist, Enya has been reduced to whoring herself out for crack, and John Tesh likes little boys...
What about Thomas Kinkaide?
I prefer to think of him as "Yawney" :)

Brace yourself, it's bad. Real bad.
Probably a fight over the hairbrush.
Yeah,Who's next--Boxcar Willie?
A few years ago, me, my ex and another couple were out shopping at a mall when some puke walks up to me and gushes... “God dude... you look just like Yanni!”
Saw the barber soon after.
Manalapan is so wealthy even the service folks there are rich.
Also they showed him getting the perp walk last night on local t.v., and suprise suprise he didn't quite look like he does on his album covers. Punk is really an ugly man.
Biggest suprise though is he got into trouble hitting his GIRLFRIEND, who would have known?
She sounds like a golddigger to me.
How do you compare a Jazz performer with a New Age performer?
A friend once defined New Age music for me this way: You can chop it up into phrases and reassemble them in any order you want and it makes no difference.

JUST KIDDING!!!! sort of.
In May 1970 Chuck Mangione wrote and performed a concert called "Friends and Love" at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester NY. The music was difficult to characterize; if one calls if Jazz, it was of a completely new type (at least, at the time). It consisted of an orchestra (the Rochester Philharmonic) backing up an ensemble of soloists, several of whom were NYC-based "A-list" session men. This concert was unique, and very influential. Unfortunately it is never heard today.
When I heard Yanni (on a PBS fundraiser somewhere) I thought "he's trying to imitate Friends and Love." For the first minute or two I was intrigued. But after a very short time (maybe three minutes) I began to notice that his music was completely empty. It was just ersatz music, like that produced by some trick piece of music-generating software, with no soul and nothing to say. I listened for a while more (for another song or two), and then decided that it was drivel.
CM tried to get lightning to strike twice, by putting on a concert called "Together" a year or so after "Friends and Love," but it didn't have nearly the same sparkle. He then settled into a productive career as a jazz artist. He composed and directed the music for the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980, but I believe that was something of a critical disappointment.
In my opinion, Friends and Love was his crowning achievement (it was essentially his Master's thesis at the Eastman School).

If I had to listen to his crappy music, I would claim domestic battery...
Leno's take on it: "She finally played one of his albums."
There are places in Hell reserved for the likes of Yanni and Kenny G.
