RIP Ray Thomas

The Moody Blues headlined the first gig I ever went to, in Leicester when I was 16. I was addicted to their music for most of my remaining teenage years. One of the important elements of their distinctive sound was the flute (think Nights in White Satin) played by Ray Thomas, who died yesterday.This is a gentle piece Ray wrote - they were not just

Oh no... how sad. I loved the Moody Blues! Even the insanely pretentious lyrics, lol!

[gillo]

Me too. At 16 I didn't recognise any pretentiousness in the lyrics, of course.

Such a lovely tune.
