Moody Blues

[stormdog]

Some time ago, I picked up a pressing of The Moody Blues' "In Search of the Lost Chord." I'd never really listened to much of their stuff, but I've been working on finding and listening to more prog rock and I was really excited to find it. I didn't realize until I played it that it's the album with "Legend of a Mind" about Timothy Leary. I'm playing the record tonight.

The album sleeve credits Ray Thomas with that song, among others. Thomas just died today it seems. Is he on the outside, looking in? Is he on an eternal hunt for that lost chord? What will you find there? Will you stand a while and stare? Godspeed.

You know about the historical reference to The Lost Chord, yes?

Ah, I did not. Thank you for pointing me to it!

Always liked the Moody Blues.

Thomas did the flute work on 'Nights in White Satin'.

He and Ian Anderson should have gotten together. *smiles*
