The moody blues were our back side of the peak band
Them and softer Floyd
Graham’s soothing English voice and literary lyrics just made everything good again after 5-6 hours of hanging on through an intense trip and the soundtrack of axis bold as love or the doors etc or lzii
The dead were also a nice come back down to earth band
In college we tried to mimic Kesey test
Pranksters but a method to the madness
The moody blues were pretentious but it made sense to some of us
I’m sorry he’s gone
I owe him in a small anonymous way
Man that hot riff in ride my seesaw
Everbody knows it
Sharp uptick and resets the chords
Great harmony and melody
See ya soon enough Mr Edge
Thanks for the ping. When I was young I didn’t know much of their music beyond the usual radio fare, but learned to appreciate them more later on. Lyrically and melodically they were top shelf. Excellent musicianship too. Class and professionalism all the way.

Especially American Beauty. “Box of Rain” in particular.
