MICHAEL PINDER MOODY BLUES LEGEND 'THE LOST INTERVIEWS' EPISODE 5 Michael Pinder was affectionately labeled “Micky the Moonboy” as a youth for his preoccupation of the moon, stars, music and electronics. But who could have predicted that a silly nickname perhaps more suited for a sci-fi cartoon superhero would forecast his destiny. Pinder's fascination with the cosmos and a life-changing realization that we are not alone in the universe became the basis for composing intricate and surreal musical masterpieces. Michael played Hymns on the piano in Church every Sunday at his Colonel's request; in return Pinder received an early discharge from the British Army. Pinder asked for the early-out after hearing The Beatles “She Loves You” on the radio. Ten days later, Pinder was back in Birmingham, England. He quickly found a job working with Streetly Electronics where he learned the mechanics of the Mellotron. Michael Pinder would become an illustrious keyboardist and trendsetter for the instrument. In 1964 … Michael Pinder (piano, organ and vocals) and Ray Thomas (tambourine, flute and vocals) formed The Moody Blues along with members …Denny Laine (guitars, harmonica and lead vocals), Clint Warwick (bass guitar and vocals) and Graeme Edge (drums and vocals). The R&B/Rock/Pop Birmingham band scored a Top 10 hit in the U.S. with “Go Now” (1965) from their debut album The Magnificent Moodies. The Moody Blues became part of ‘The British Invasion' and supported The Beatles on their final UK tour in December of 1965. They followed the tour with their first trip to the U.S. appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1966 … after the departure of Denny Laine and Clint Warwick … The Moody Blues reformed with old friend John Lodge (bass guitar and vocals) and Justin Hayward (lead vocals and guitars) who was recommended to Pinder by Eric Burdon of The Animals. The band had an awakening after a disgruntled audience member visited their dressing room complaining about their music. The group immediately changed their musical direction and style, hence … the commencement of one of the most amazing transformations in rock history. Meanwhile …Michael Pinder suggested to his friend John Lennon that The Beatles use the Mellotron on Magical Mystery Tour …and they did. Pinder's Mellotron influence is undeniably detected on “Strawberry Fields Forever.” Pinder and bandmate Ray Thomas were also invited to play harmonica on the tracks… “I Am the Walrus” and “The Fool on the Hill.”  “In 1967 …The Moody Blues first attempt at a dissimilar musical direction had consummated with an awe-inspiring masterpiece entitled… Days of Future Passed. It would be the first Decca/Deram Records release in stereo. Michael Pinder's Mellotron ingrained a brave new transcendental manner and Progressive Rock was born. The proficient players of The Moody Blues were also accompanied by The London Festival Orchestra while creating the band's first concept album. Days of Future Passed spawned two of the band's biggest commercial hits with its new lineup … “Nights in White Satin” and “Tuesday Afternoon.” Pinder wrote the tracks… “Dawn is a Feeling” and “The Sunset.” Pinder's dramatic reading of “Late Lament” added a mind-blowing conclusion to a superlative album. Producer Tony Clarke's influence also had a huge impact on the group. The Moody Blues subsequent release … In Search of the Lost Cord (1968) was recorded without an orchestra … although Pinder's ingenious performance on the Mellotron often sounded like a symphony. Pinder composed “The Best Way to Travel” and “Om” on the album. “Ride My See-saw” became a commercial hit for the band. In 1969 … The Moody Blues released On the Threshold of a Dream. The group's signature sound became exclusive to the rest of the rock world. Pinder had considerable songwriting duties on the album with … “So Deep Within You,” “Have You Heard (Part 1),” “The Voyage,” and “Have You Heard (Part 2).” Inspired by the 1969 moon landing …To Our Children's Children's Children was their first album released on the band's newly formed Threshold Records. The band followed the critically acclaimed release with … Question of Balance (1970). Pinder penned … “How Is It (We are Here)” and his proverbial classic … “Melancholy Man.” Every Good Boy Deserves Favour was released in 1971. For the first time, the entire band lyrically collaborated on “Procession” the opening track. Michael Pinder also penned the final track on the album entitled … “My Song.” The release spawned yet another Top 40 hit with … “The Story in Your Eyes.” Also in 1971 … Pinder played tambourine on John Lennon's Imagine album on the track … “I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama.” Seventh Sojourn released in 1972 brought an end to the classic Moody Blues era. Michael Pinder penned … “Lost in a Lost World,” and “When You're a Free Man.” The album also spawned… “I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band) and became one of the bands highest charting hits reaching #12 on Billboard's Hot 100 in the U.S. Pinder also substituted the Mellotron with its precursor the Chamberlin. In 1976 …Pinder released his solo album entitled … The Promise.  After a lengthy hiatus, The Moody Blues released Octave (1978). Michael Pinder departed the band during the sessions but contributed… “One Step Into the Light.” Pinder was replaced by YES Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz. Without Pinder's Mellotron and Chamberlin influence, The Moody Blues intricate progressive period was over. The Moody Blues continue to tour and record as a band with Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge (the only original band member left in the group).  In 1994 …Pinder released his solo effort … Among the Stars (a private mail order release). MOST RECENTLY … Esoteric Recordings has released Michael Pinder's 3-Disc CD & DVD set of ‘The Promise (1976) & Among the Stars' (1994) plus new bonus material featuring Michael's sons (The Pinder Brothers) and Ray Thomas (The Moody Blues) on flute. I had the rare pleasure of chatting with Michael Pinder recently. We chatted about his remarkable days with The Moody Blues, his relationship and influence on The Beatles, and UFO'S!

'SUSANNA HOFFS BANGLES LEGEND THE LOST INTERVIEWS' Susanna Hoffs is the beautiful, talented & iconic vocalist for the commercially successful all- female pop/rock/new wave/ band ‘The Bangles.' Hoffs angelic and awe-inspiring vocals are definitive on such Bangles classics as …“Manic Monday” (1985 #2 US Billboard Hit), “Walk Like an Egyptian” (1986 #1 US Billboard Hit), “If She Knew What She Wants” (1986 #29 US Billboard Hit), “Hazy Shade of Winter” (1987 #2 US Billboard Hit), “Walking Down Your Street” (1987 #11 US Billboard Hit),“In Your Room” (1988 #5 US Billboard Hit), and the breathtaking “Eternal Flame” (1988 #1 US Billboard Hit). Hoffs is also ‘The Bangles' rhythm guitarist and songwriter. THE BANGS: After Susanna Hoffs graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied theatre, dance, and art, she headed back to Los Angeles and placed an ad in The Recycler, an LA based classifieds newspaper. A trio began to form with the addition of Sisters Vicky Peterson (vocals/guitars) and Debbi Peterson (vocals/drums) while subsequently adding Annette Zilinskas on bass. After short stints with names such as ‘The Colours' and ‘The Supersonic Bangs,' the newly formed all-girl band eventually settled on ‘The Bangs' while swiftly becoming a vital part of the Los Angeles Paisley Underground scene. The Bangs debut single “Getting Out of Hand” was released on their label DownKiddie Records and caught the attention of KROQ deejay Rodney Bingenheimer who repeatedly played the record on his show. THE BANGLES: ‘The Bangs' were auspiciously mandated to change their name so the group dropped ‘The' and added the letters ‘les' to form ‘Bangles,' a banner that would flourish into one of the greatest all-female groups in rock and roll history. In 1982, under new manager Miles Copeland, The Bangles supported The English Beat on a UK tour. In 1983, the group made its first appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. In 1984, ‘All Over the Place,' The Bangles first full-length album was released on CBS (Columbia) Records. Michael Steele had replaced Annette Zilinskas on bass. Steele began her music career as Micki Steele with The Runaways. ‘All Over the Place,' spawned the singles”Hero Takes a Fall,” and “Going Down to Liverpool” which featured Susanna's childhood neighbor and family friend Leonard Nimoy. The Bangles popularity escalated and was asked to join such acts as ‘Cyndi Lauper' and ‘Huey Lewis and the News' on tour.   Susanna Hoffs and The Bangles had captivated the attention of R&B/Pop/Funk/ music artist & songwriter ‘Prince.' Prince offered his penned single “Manic Monday” (1984) to The Bangles and the group promptly brought the tune into the recording studio. “Manic Monday” (1986) became The Bangles first big hit peaking at #2 on Billboards US Charts. Their second studio album ‘Different Light' (1986) produced by David Kahne peaked at #2 on the US Billboard Charts and is considered to be their most successful to date. Also in 1986, The Bangles opened for 'Queen' at Slane Castle, Ireland.   In 1987, “Walk like an Egyptian” won Best Video at the 15th Annual Music Awards and again at the 5th Annual American Video Awards. ‘Everything' (1988) The Bangles third studio album spawned the Top 5 Hit “In Your Room,” and their worldwide #1 single “Eternal Flame” penned by Susanna Hoffs, Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. The Bangles attained a well-deserved hiatus throughout the 90's but returned with rock and roll vengeance in 1999. They released their fourth studio album entitled ‘Doll Revolution' in 2003. Bassist Michael Steele officially left The Bangles in 2005 and the band decided to use guest bassists while on tour. The Bangles most recent album ‘Sweetheart of the Sun' was released in 2011. In January of 2014, The Bangles returned to the legendary Whisky A GO GO to celebrate the club's 50th anniversary. SUSANNA HOFFS: In 1991, Susanna released her debut solo album entitled ‘When You're a Boy' produced by David Kahne. The album spawned the Top 40 hit single “My Side of the Bed.” The release featured such musical luminaries as John Entwistle, Jim Keltner, and Donovan. In 1996, Susanna Hoffs released her second studio album entitled ‘Susanna Hoffs.' Based on a Saturday Night Live stint in the early 1990's, Hoffs performed in the band ‘Ming Tea' with … Mike Myers, Matthew Sweet, Christopher Ward and Stuart Johnson. The SNL skit morphed into a three comedy film series ... Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Jay Roach, Susanna's husband directed the Austin Power series and ‘Ming Tea' performed in all three movies. In 2006, Susanna collaborated with alternative rocker Matthew Sweet under the name ‘Sid n Susie,' and released ‘Under the Covers' Volumes 1, 2 &3 featuring classic rock cover songs of the 60's,70's, and 80's. In 2012, Susanna released her critically-acclaimed studio album entitled ‘Someday.' Susanna's vocals are more radiant than ever. Hoffs collaborated with musical partner Andrew Brassell and producer Mitchell Froom on her best solo album to date. All the tracks are co-penned by Susanna Hoffs. Hoffs & Brassell continue to co-write music and hope to release a new album sometime in 2015. ‘Susanna Hoffs' performs at The Satellite in Los Angeles on July 18th with special guests Fred Armisen and Petra Haden. ‘The Bangles' kicked off their summer concert series on June 6th at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California … click [Here] for a complete ‘Bangles' tour listing.

ROGER McGUINN LOST INTERVIEWS EPISODE 1 The Byrds become Roger McGuinn (lead guitars and vocals), Gene Clark (tambourine, vocals), David Crosby (rhythm guitars and vocals), Chris Hillman (bass guitar and vocals) and Michael Clarke (drums). Columbia Records signed The Byrds in 1965 and they recorded their first number one hit, a Bob Dylan penned song, “Mr. Tambourine Man.” The Byrds continued to score big commercially with their 1965 classic that was adapted from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, “Turn! Turn! Turn!” “I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better,” was another huge hit for the group in 1965 featuring McGuinn's trademark jangling 12-string Rickenbacker. “Eight Miles High” was The Byrds 1966 Top 20 Psychedelic classic and “Mr. Spaceman” reached #36 on Billboard's Top 100, both were featured on their Fifth Dimension album.” Dylan's penned, “My Back Pages” released in 1967 #30 and “So You Want To Be A Rock ‘N' Roll Star,” also released in 1967 was a #29 Billboard Top 100 hit. Gene Clark left the band in 1966. David Crosby and Michael Clarke departed in late 1967. In 1968, Gram Parsons was hired and The Byrds recorded their critically acclaimed release, “Sweetheart of the Rodeo.” Later in 1968, Hillman and Parsons left. In 1969, The Byrds recorded “Ballad of Easy Rider” for a film starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. McGuinn also co-wrote, “Chestnut Mare” with Jacques Levy in 1969, a song intended to be featured in a musical inspired by Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt. McGuinn led several Byrds lineups until 1973 when the original quintet reunited and then disbanded after the release of their 12th and final album Byrds. Roger McGuinn rejoined Gene Clark and Chris Hillman in 1978 and recorded three successful albums for Capitol Records. In 1981, McGuinn returned to his folk roots and began to tour acoustically as a solo artist. McGuinn, Crosby and Hillman performed as The Byrds in 1989 and 1990 and recorded four new songs for their box set released in 1991. The Byrds were also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

PETE BEST WHERE HAVE ALL THE ROCK STARS GONE? Rock and Roll, the Blues, and Jazz are America's contribution to the arts, so why are we not fighting to preserve our own musical legacy and culture? Rooted from the early blues pioneers, the longevity of rock and roll is second to none. But strangely enough those legendary rock heroes that we were so accustomed to hearing every time we turned on our radios had mysteriously vanished from the mainstream. The music of the 1960's, 70's and even the 80's was an important juncture in all of our lives. So many of us timeline life's precious moments with the music we remember, when the music was so great, when the music mattered. The baby-boomer generation is financially imperative yet many of its entertainment standards have been renounced. One day, the plug was pulled on those legendary music artists. Hackers began stealing music across the internet. Online music stores popularized cheap digital singles and neglected to promote full-length albums. Radio stations changed formats to accommodate talk show radio jocks while rappers and electronic dance music menaced the airwaves. Notorious record companies began folding in droves. Record companies and radio stations that were once owned and operated by visionaries were now run by accountants and lawyers and the music world began promoting untalented wannabes. The economy plummeted, and radio stations became more concerned about how many consecutive commercials they could run instead of providing quality radio programming and entertainment value. Radio stations became corporate machines leaving no room for innovation. Throughout the 2000s, recording studios and live performances began using an audio processor called "Auto-Tune" to disguise off-key inaccuracies in vocal tracks. The device allowed virtually anyone without music skills to become a singer and new waves of mainstream radio stars were instantly fabricated. The business of music became stronger and more important than the art of music. For more than a decade, I've been on a rock and roll pilgrimage to help promote and save the greatest music the world has ever known. Before the internet and Napster, virtuoso musicians traditionally introduced their music by way of mainstream radio stations while anxious music enthusiasts hurried to their favorite record stores and purchased a copy of the artist's latest release. Talk radio wasn't popular because there was way too much great music to play over the airwaves. Advertisers didn't rule the airwaves, the music did. Rock legends toured the world to promote their latest albums and prices of concert tickets were extremely affordable. Proficient musicians, singers, and songwriters are what made the music so great.

MDJ  Script/ Top Stories for Sept 12th Publish Date:  Sept 12th   Commercial:  Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast    Today is Tuesday Sept 12th and happy 56th birthday to comedian Louis C.K. ***LOUIS C.K.*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia Judge Jacobs keynotes Metro Marietta Kiwanis Club meeting Cobb County discovers 18 uncounted ballots from 2022 elections Kennesaw Mountain High School observes 9/11 anniversary All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subcribe! Commercial : ESOG - Elon   STORY 1: Judge Jacobs   Cobb Superior Court Judge Julie Jacobs will be the keynote speaker at the Metro Marietta Kiwanis Club's meeting. She will talk about the importance of courts in the community and share her personal journey from a cattle ranch to her current position. The event will be held at Roswell Street Baptist Church in Marietta at noon.................……... read more about this at mdjonline.com     STORY 2: Uncounted ballots   Cobb County in Georgia has found 18 uncounted ballots from last year's elections. The county's Board of Elections has informed the Secretary of State's Office about the issue, and an internal investigation revealed that these ballots were not opened and processed as they should have been. However, the uncounted ballots would not have affected the election results. Five of the ballots were absentee ballots from the May 2022 election, and the remaining 13 were provisional ballots from the November 2022 election. It is unclear if this discovery is connected to the delayed mailing issue from last November.   STORY 3: Kennesaw Mountain HS Observes 9/11   Kennesaw Mountain High School held a 9/11 remembrance ceremony where cadets presented and raised the American flag to half-staff. The ceremony featured a moving tribute, including the playing of taps by student Alessandro De Cesare and a somber speech by Petty Officer Justin Richard, who is part of the school's Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. Richard emphasized the significance of remembering the lives lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the impact on the entire nation. The ceremony aimed to honor those who perished and acknowledge the trauma the nation endured, emphasizing unity and respect. Principal Nathan Stark praised the ROTC for organizing this humbling and respectful event..........…..(pause) We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.   We'll be right back   Break:   CU of GA – Drake- – Dayco   STORY 4: KSU   Chattanooga's Chase Artopoeus had an impressive game, going 23 of 28 for 276 yards and three touchdowns, leading his team to a 27-20 victory against Kennesaw State. Chattanooga built a 17-0 lead by halftime, but Kennesaw State made a second-half rally. Quarterback Jonathan Murphy led the charge, completing 12 of 16 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown. Kennesaw State came close to closing the gap, but a replay review nullified a crucial pass completion, ultimately sealing their fate. Despite their fourth-quarter surge, Kennesaw State struggled to gain yards, especially in rushing, with only 102 yards on the ground. Missed opportunities plagued Kennesaw State throughout the game, including missed field goals. Artopoeus shined for Chattanooga, connecting with Sam Phillips for two touchdowns, securing their halftime lead.   STORY 5: Woodstock Beats Lassiter   Woodstock secured its first win in 2½ years by defeating Lassiter 20-10. Chase Colina's 116 receiving yards, including a 56-yard touchdown reception, were instrumental in the victory. Woodstock's defense held Lassiter to just 27 total yards in the first half and 107 for the game. Lassiter managed to cut the deficit with a late third-quarter field goal, but Woodstock responded with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Peyton Lynch to Isaiah Payton. Despite a quick touchdown from Lassiter, Woodstock's defense held strong, with three interceptions and four sacks. Ryder Romijin sealed the win with a 42-yard field goal, and Peyton Lynch played a crucial role with 141 passing yards and 41 rushing yards. STORY 6:  Mableton Business and community leaders will gather in Mableton for the second annual Economic Development Summit on September 22. The event, held at the Riverside EpiCenter, aims to discuss the city's economic development prospects following its recent incorporation. Sixteen panelists will provide insights into sustainable development opportunities. The Mableton Improvement Coalition, led by President Ray Thomas, sees this summit as a way to foster a stronger business ecosystem in the newly incorporated city. Speakers include Todd Gray of Kaiser Permanente, Cassius Butts of Capital Fortitude Business Advisors, and authors Maya Moore and Jonathan Irons. The summit will address topics like access to capital and workforce development, making it valuable for both existing business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. Awards will also be presented to individuals and organizations contributing to Mableton's growth and development. The cost to attend the summit is $50 per person.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Powers  - Ingles 8 - JRM                       STORY 7:  KSU launches $62.3 million construction projects   Kennesaw State University is moving forward with two construction projects approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, with a total budget of $62.3 million. The first project involves the construction of a new 600-bed residence hall on the Kennesaw campus, costing $50 million, in response to increased enrollment and demand for on-campus housing. The Summit II residence hall will be adjacent to The Summit student housing and is expected to open in time for the fall 2026 semester.   The second project allocates $12.3 million for the renovation of KSU's Stillwell Stadium, home to the Owls' baseball team since 1984. This renovation, funded mainly by private donations, includes a complete overhaul of the stadium, with a new turf playing surface, improved lighting, safer fencing, new dugouts, media areas, concessions, and an expanded seating capacity of 1,500. The reconstruction coincides with KSU Athletics' move to Conference USA in the 2024-25 academic year. Both projects aim to enhance campus facilities and better serve the growing university community.   STORY 8: Jerica for Congress   Cobb County District 2 Commissioner Jerica Richardson, a Democrat, has filed paperwork to run for U.S. Congress in 2024, specifically for Georgia's 6th Congressional District. The incumbent is Rep. Rich McCormick, a Republican. Richardson's supporters have created a campaign committee called "Jerica for Congress" and launched a campaign website and social media accounts. She has scheduled a kickoff event for September 14. Although the 6th District was previously represented by Democrat Lucy McBath, redistricting has made it a safe Republican seat. Legal challenges to Georgia's congressional map are ongoing, which could potentially impact the competitiveness of the district for Democrats like Richardson.   …Back with final thoughts after   Break:  Henssler 60 Signoff: Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Today's Bonus Track features the legendary John Lodge of the Moody Blues. John's heading out this week for a special tour starting on July 18 where he'll be playing the entire classic Moody Blues album Days of Future Passed.We dig into a lot of different topics, including Days of Future Passed, of course -- and John also shares some stories regarding the individual members of the Moody Blues and some of his favorite memories.A couple of weeks after this interview, John announced that he'd completed a full re-recording of the album, titled Days of Future Passed - My Sojourn. Information on how the new version of the record came together follows.Our thanks to John as always for taking the time to chat!--John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, has announced that he will be releasing his version of the iconic album ‘Days of Future Passed', entitled ‘Days of Future Passed – My Sojourn', to accompany his upcoming tour of the same name. The album is to be released on CD as special fan club only release, and will be available at the upcoming shows starting July 18th, and through John's website https://shop.johnlodge.com for pre-orders, with shipping on August 7th. The album was recorded over the last year, and has grown from John's current live show as he, and his 10,000 Light Years Band, lovingly recreate this classic album. The album also features a special recording by the late Graeme Edge and performances by Jon Davison of YES. It is being released as part of John's celebration of the album ‘that changed his life', and with the hope that it will continue to introduce fans to the original iconic recording. The album's orchestration is by John's long-term collaborator, and great friend, Alan Hewitt. “November 2023 will be the 56th anniversary of 'Days of Future Passed'. It's incredible to look back on this album that changed my life, and that still has so much impact today on so many, and I felt that it deserved celebrating, and so I began rehearsals in 2021/2022 to bring this celebration to life on stage. What was important to me was to make this concert another milestone in the history of ‘Days of Future Passed', and so I asked Graeme if he would record his poetry, ‘Morning Glory' and ‘Late Lament', to include in my concert. Graeme gave me his blessing and said, ‘John, Keep the Moody Blues music alive'. We had a fantastic time putting the show together, with Alan, Duffy, Billy and Jason, and Jon Davison, giving me so much support and helping bring my vision to life. After the final rehearsals for the concert, I realised I should capture this new moment in time, although a reflection of the past, forever, by going into the studio and recording the album, ‘Days of Future Passed – My Sojourn'. I am hoping that this will bring a new generation of listeners to the album, that they then may rediscover the original recording, and the beautiful vocals of Mike Pinder, Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas and myself.  I dedicate this album to Graeme, Justin, Mike and Ray, to Tony Clarke, and to all the fans that are with me on this sojourn, no matter when you joined…”  John Lodge July 2023 The CD in Digipak will be available starting July 18th at John's first show in Rockford, IL, and a vinyl album is due to follow in the Fall.  The album will also be available to stream and download from July 14th. The cover features a poignant photograph of John and his wife, Kirsten, taken by his daughter-in-law, Inga Wilson - for John, this was an image that perfectly encapsulated the idea of past and future and what this album means to him. Go here to stream and download, https://slinky.to/DaysOfFuturePassed

What the Riff?!?

One of the earliest examples of a prog rock record was Days of Future Passed, the second studio album by The Moody Blues. Originally a rhythm and blues band, The Moody Blues were in difficult financial straits when they convinced the record company to combine their music with orchestral elements and interludes in a single album.  The group recorded much of their sessions first, then provided these to conductor Peter Knight, who directed the London Festival Orchestra (the house orchestra for Decca Records) in arrangements and orchestral interludes.The Moody Blues for this album are Justin Hayward on guitar, piano, and vocals, John Lodge on bass and vocals, Mike Pinder on keyboards and vocals, Ray Thomas on flute, piano, and vocals, and Graeme Edge on drums and vocals.Days of Future Passed is created as a concept around a day in the life of "an everyday man."  It begins with a track appropriately entitled "The Day Begins," and concludes with a piece labeled "The Night," which we know as "Nights in White Satin," and "Late Lament."  The album was somewhat successful when first released, but would climb in popularity over a long period of time, particularly on the growing strength of "Nights in White Satin" on FM radio in the U.S.  It would eventually peak on the album charts at number 2 in the U.S. - in 1972!Brian takes us on this day trip. Dawn:  Dawn Is a FeelingKeyboardist Mike Pinder wrote this song, the first track sung after the Instrumental overture and spoken recitation.  As the name implies, it represents the start of the day.Lunch BreakBassist John Lodge sings lead on this song which he also wrote.  The fast pace is suggestive of the hectic period of lunch hour on a business day.  The song has an orchestral introduction which was recorded separately from the rest of the track.Tuesday Afternoon Also known as "Forever Afternoon" or "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)", the song was originally intended to be named "Tuesday Afternoon" but was changed for the album.  It was released as "Tuesday Afternoon" when released as a single.  Justin Hayward wrote the song in Lypiatt Park on a (you guessed it) Tuesday afternoon.Nights In White Satin/Late LamentHayward composed this hit at the age of 19 in Belgium, inspired by a gift of satin bedsheets given by his girlfriend.  The song is about a yearning love from afar.  The strength of this song would provide the success for both the album and The Moody Blues as a whole.  Late Lament was written by drummer Graeme Edge, and is recited by keyboardist Mike Pinder.  This is the only album track on which the band recorded with the London Festival Orchestra rather than separately. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Won't You Be My Neighbor? (the main theme to the children's series Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood)The television series starring Fred Rogers debuted nationally this month. STAFF PICKS:Tomorrow by Strawberry Alarm ClockBruce starts us off with a psychedelic and sunshine pop group out of Los Angeles.  This song is the first single off the group's second album, "Wake Up...It's Tomorrow."  It would hit number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and would be their second and final top 40 hit.  "But right now I am with you, and together we can make it through."Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song)  by The BuckinghamsRob's staff pick continues in the sunshine pop genre with a band out of Chicago.  This is off their album "Portraits," and made it to number 12 on the charts.  "Sunshine Pop" is rooted in easy listening and "advertising jingles."  The Buckinghams got their name in an attempt to channel some of the success of the British Invasion.  They had 5 top 40 hits in 1967. Nobody But Me by the Human BeinzWayne brings us a well-known cover originally performed by The Isley Brothers.  There are over 100 "no's" in this song and 47 "nobody's," making it quite literally a quite negative song.  While this would be the only entry into the top 10, it would become a staple of Fraternity parties from then on.    Sunday Mornin' by Spanky & Our GangBrian  features Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane as lead woman for the band.  Spanky & Our Gang had a number of hits in the 60's.  This sunshine pop song peaked at number 30 as a single, and preceded the album by several months.     COMEDY TRACK:Here Come the Judge by Shorty LongThis funky novelty song was inspired by a skit on Rowan & Martin's "Laugh In," and was Long's biggest hit, rising to number 4 on the charts.
