Graeme Edge, drummer with the Moody Blues, passed the other day aged 80. Back in the early '70's , my band of choice. My old Vauxhall Cresta which I had one of the early in-car early cassette players fitted, allowed me to listen to the ',Moodies' on the long drive from Glasgow to Pompey, or Guzz etc to and from leave. Graeme Edge, John Lodge, Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas, Knights in White Satin, from the album Days of Future Past.....a welcome companion.
Do I feel old?.....yea, just a bit.....
