Without a question the best concert I ever attended was the Moody Blues in March of 1972 in Chicago at the International Amphitheater. Pinder was awesome. All night long there were only five guys up on the stage, but sometimes there was a piano or other keyboard, and sometimes there was an entire orchestra up there, plus some other sounds that didn't really belong to any instruments I was aware of. It was everything you wanted from a Moody Blues concert, and it rocked.
Listened to Every Good Boy Deserves Favor tonight in his honor.
Other than The Beatles, no other musical group influenced me as much as The Moody Blues. Within the Moodies, it was Michael Pinder's songwriting & mellotron playing first grabbed me. Truly a unique musician & man, may he rest in peace among the cosmos.

I recover from my many fumbles daily.
Easily exceeding Roman's record.

That's a record that nobody would willingly try to break.
That named is ingrained in my brain from my childhood.

Kinda like spelling, auto shop and punctuation.
Things I was taught way back, that seemed to kick in later.
Football and baseball. Two things I don't pay attention much these days. But I can still remember teams and the cities they are associated with.
Weird.
He was one of my dad's favorite guys because he was from NC and went to school at State. My dad was strictly a Skins fan though. I always remember him with the Rams and that fearsome foursome, especially when they played the Colts. I was crazy about some football man. Bet you were too. Wasn't Norm Van Brocklin the Eagles QB before Gabriel got there? I need to look that up. All the teams had some monsters in those days. I loved football as a kid.
