Heading
Here we are, at my final concert with you. I know you have been traumatized by so many fans over the years. I worked for Willie Nelson for a year, and I met many famous people. They liked me because I was never a country fan, so I fit in. I was known as "that Moody Guy," but I was a fan of many more songwriters. I can't even imagine what trauma you had to experience. I want to say goodbye and thank you.
I don't know if you'll read this, but it's more about me.
When I was an orphan, my older brother was tossed around from family to family. He took me to my first concert, the Moody Blues, in 1968. But honestly, it wasn't until the Threshold of a Dream LP that I connected with the Moody Blues songs. My brother experienced an out-of-body experience listening to the Voyage. I was immediately hooked. As the songs beg questions, I've spent my life looking for the answers.
I was a premature baby with many defects. One was that I was born with partial hearing loss. Somehow, I connected to the songs you, John, Pinder, Ray, and the brothers sang. I remained in the shadows, traveling most of my life. I was fortunate to connect to your songs from early on, and the music was the only family I knew on my life's journey. For every significant life change, you release a new LP.
It was just a coincidence; it was the only constant thing in my life. I spent two years in the Army. I was supposed to go to Vietnam, but I got lucky and went Stateside to Germany; after 2 years, the very night in September 73 I was to return home to the States, I was given a choice to wait until the next night so I could see you guys Frankfort, Germany, on your seventh Solgeren tour. I married "Remember Me, My Friend." My daughter was born to "The Present." and so on.
