Blame Dave. I never thought I'd live to be a hundred: And no hundred would be complete without, I never thought I'd get to be a million
It was the time of Timothy Leary [he'd dead, no he's outside, looking in], LSD and mind exploration. Thinking is the best way to travel: Love the inclusion of a Sputnik style signal.
The first Moody Blues album I ever heard ....... With the most “far out” start of any album I’d ever heard ....
I think all of Moody Blues albums were started with Graeme Edge composed tracks. Days of Future Passed was. That one above. [Ride My See-Saw was track number 2, written by John Lodge]. So it goes: The Day Begins, then your selection Departure: Then In the Beginning, with a free dose of Lovely to see you: Then Higher and Higher: : End of Part One.
Part Two. A Question of Balance was a definite change of pace for the Moodies. Not least, Graeme Edge didn't start the album. He got in at No.4 with Don't you feel small: Then a return to normal with Procession from Ever Good Boy...: and a free helping of Story in your eyes Then on Seventh Sojourn we were back to a filler with You and Me. Co-written with Hayward. You can easily hear the bits which are Edge's contribution: And that's the end of the Classic Seven albums. Octave, several years later didn't quite have it for me. Could be one to return to. I was never that ultra keen on Question of Balance at the time.
I wanted to post up a song which has been going around in my head for about 3 hours, won't shift, is pretty good, but I can't remember the title, the band, or enough of the lyrics to find it online. And it is just starting to piss me off that I'm stuck back in the 20th century, with no recourse other than remembering it or forgetting it completely. And I don't have it in my collection of music anywhere. Neuralink, where are you?
Mrs Jab busy in the kitchen wants some music to cook by. Johnny Carson introducing Frank and the boys, time to to pour a little drinky.
Update on that sodding song that has been going through my head. I hummed it to a mate of mine over the phone, and he instantly got it. But he can't remember the name of the band, or the title or enough of the lyrics, either. But I think he's going to come up with the answer.
YEEEEESSSSS! My buddy got back to me with a few more lyrics and we pinned it down. Jo Jo Gunne - Run, Run, Run:
