Hi All,
I saw The Moody Blues in 1972 in Boston Mass.
It was one of my favorite M.B. concerts.
Mike was playing his Mk.2.
Ray played the Bass flute on "When you're a free man".
It was the first time I'd ever seen a Bass flute.
It sounded beautiful!
I had the privelege of playing one about a month later.
If only I had the money to buy one, they cost around $5,000 and up.
Anyhow,I still like Ray's contributions to the group and I miss him
however,I'll have to admit that Norda Mullen is amazing!
Cheers,
Fretless
