mike pinder turned 70 last Dec.27th and justin hayward turned 65 on Oct.14th. IMHO they have aged real fine.awesome band, neat guys. a fan since 1967.

Pinder hasn't aged very well!!!!

[IvoryForest1]

@johnnycheck99 I was actually gonna say he doesnt look a day over 50 years old, by the youngest looking guy from that band.

[johnnycheck99]

@IvoryForest1 Justin Hayward?

I always thought it was a full ensemble orchestra/symphony playing this song. I had no idea it was this little, weird contraption. I want one!!!

[PompeyDane]

@j267699

It was recorded with the London Festival Orchestra, so you aren't incorrect at all.
