The Moody Blues were an outstanding band-Sorry to hear about the passing of Graeme Edge-I can envision him & Charlie Watts performing a jam session in Rock & Roll Heaven.

Graeme Edge wrote the closing poem that you hear towards the end of "Nights In White Satin"-Keyboardist Mike Pinder did the actual recitation.

Graeme Edge wrote the closing poem that you hear towards the end of "Nights In White Satin"-Keyboardist Mike Pinder did the actual recitation. "Late Lament" is the title. He narrated and wrote "Departure", the lead-in to "Ride My See-Saw". He also co-wrote my favorite Moodies song "You And Me" with Justin Hayward from "Seventh Sojourn". |
