โ€œ On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king โ€

56 years old today.

So very sad to hear of the passing of John Lodge. The progressive rock genre owes a huge debt of gratitude to the Moody Blues.

Rest easy fella.

With all this news regarding next yearโ€™s Rush reunion, I can pretty much guarantee one fellow who some of you may remember from a few years back on Twitter that wonโ€™t be attending ๐Ÿ˜ก

Oh what fun he was ๐Ÿ˜€

Two legendary musicians left us on this day, Ginger Baker in 2019 and Eddie Van Haken a year later in 2020.

Rest easy fellas.

I saw the new drummer Anika Nilles a few years ago drumming for Jeff Beck and she and bassist Rhonda Smith were a formidable rhythm section.

That said, sheโ€™s got the toughest of shoes to fill.

Last day in the sun before heading home.

This morning Iโ€™l be listening to these two excellent 1995 companion albums containing many remixed and re-recorded Marillion and solo tracks.

Grab them if you see them going reasonably priced

KC? Only a band? Now that type of talk will get you arrested by the prog police.

Personally, Iโ€™ve always regarded (sharp intake of breath while I fasten my body armour) itโ€™s overrated. But for Starless, itโ€™s an average at best album. But it carries the KC name, so I guess that always tends to move it up a notch or two.

Walk took much longer than I thought.

Luckily the Dan came to my rescue.

Off for a four or five hour walk along the coast the Blanes.

This should see me through.

Morning all โ€ฆ

On the way to Girona.

Starting today with this excellent 2013 album from Sound Of Contact. Shame was just a one-off.
