Yes, I was sad to hear that. I've been a Moody Blues fan since high school in the 70's, and have seen them in concert several times. This one hit me harder than most celebrity deaths I read about. It felt like somebody I knew.

A friend posted this cover of "Nights In White Satin" and I thought it was quite good.  Brought back memories of listening to it on head phones way back when.

My favorite all time band. I saw them live about 10 or 12 years ago and they were better than ever. Sad, RIP Ray.
