Re: Mike Pinder, RIP
Not only king but master of the mellotron. Saw The Moody Blues live in Montreal in 1973 and was lucky to be seated on Pinder's side and see him work. Awesome even thoufgh the sound at the Montréal Forum was terrible.
Shawn Phillips who used to befriend them when he was living in London had good words for Pinder when I was Shawn's accountant in Montréal.

Re: Mike Pinder, RIP
Voices in the sky!
Faster than light.
Thinking is the best way to travel...
it's all a dream
light slipping by
on the scene
and there you and I in between
hear and now
will we ever be again
I have found all that glimmers in this world
is born to fade away and then
I break at the bend!
AI was made for Pinder.
This made him the Einsteinesque visionary who foresaw reality only needs a landscape to describe its soundtrack.
The rest is a mere form of mental dexterity called cultural texture,..contrary imagination and the essence of sonic libidos suspended in eternal motion he might've called the pulse...
of Om!
Thank you Mike Pinder!
Patrick Moraz was a lucky man.
And, Brave too!

Re: Mike Pinder, RIP
The average fan doesn’t realize just how many songs he wrote and sang on those early LPs…I always thought it was a shame that he ever reunited with the others…The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction was quite awkward I thought

Had the Moodies never been a musical group, Pinder would have been more contemporary than 1/5.
In truth, he was a shark who spoke fluent Ramora!
He can't stop swimming...they only have to hang on!
