You should have followed up the mention of Denny Laine with "what did you think of his work with Paul McCartney's group, Wings?" and the Hamburg mention..."did you play the Star Club like the Beatles?"

Good to see him and tell ya this, he and his band, The Moody Blues are very deserving of being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Good to see Mike enjoying life and hearing his views on music and the Moody Blues early years. Would have liked it even more had he complimented the current Moodies line up for keeping the band going for so many many more years.

I have always loved the Moody Blues, but after hearing several interviews I can understand why Mike might not talk about the current Moodies very much. Mike has reached out to Graeme Edge on several occasions to let him know he is sorry about a past misunderstanding, and Graeme has not been very receptive. Justin Hayward has made a few insensitive comments also regarding Mike and Ray.

Always have loved this guy. "Out and In" still my favorite Moodies tune. Transports you to another plane. Tnx again Mike.

Glad to see that Mike Pinder is doing fine. I have his first solo album - which I really enjoy. I'm a "Moodie" Fan as well.
