โ 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.

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, sheโs got the toughest of shoes to fill.

For me, the best yet in the Archive series.
Last day in the sun before heading home.
This morning Iโl 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.

IMHO Bobโs best and one of the greatest ever.
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.
