Former Yes star Jon Anderson knew he’d met his future wife when Jane Luttenburger first came to his house, because she kept popping up in his dreams.
A friend of the singer urged him to meet with filmmaker Ron Howard’s sidekick, because she could help him get his music into movies, and so Anderson arranged a lunch date at his house in Hollywood.
“I forgot that she was coming up for lunch but there she was and, lo and behold, I knew who she was, because I had been seeing her in my meditations for six months,” Jon tells WENN.
“She would keep jumping up and down in my meditation and I thought, ‘Who is that beautiful woman?’ And then she would disappear. When she walked through the door I went, ‘Hello, I love you! We’re gonna get married!’ In my mind, that’s what I thought.
“I was so shy I couldn’t look at her. Plus, I had my kids from my other marriage there and some other people there making my album. I was told she was expecting lunch that I was going to make and I’d just sent out for pizza! But I did fall in love.”
The Owner of a Lonely Heart singer sent his new love tapes of music he had been working on and a card, which read: “Beach, movie, cocktails, dinner?”
“I wrote anything I could think of and we went out to dinner the following day,” he recalls. “I was so excited that I lost my voice and I couldn’t speak! I had to write down all my questions. She kept them all. I told her that night I had fallen in love and wanted to marry her. We’ve been married ever since.”
The Andersons, who wed in 1997, have now teamed up in the studio to record I Found Myself, the song Jon wrote for his wife shortly after they met. The track will appear on his new album, 1,000 Hands.
