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
