  • ENT Hayward Prepdf
    Twenty-First Century Troubadour: Justin Hayward on French Connections, Songwriting, and Literature Interview with Barbara Havercroft Born in 1946 in Swindon, England, Justin Hayward is the lead singer, song- writer, and guitarist with the legendary band The Moody Blues. His renowned, highly successful career in music is now in its sixth decade, and is characterized by excellence and innovation in popular music. The Moody Blues have sold more than seventy million albums and have been awarded more than a dozen platinum and gold discs. Justin Hayward has also released seven solo albums and has received numerous prestigious awards, such as the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music, awarded in May 20131. The following telephone interview was conducted at the University of Toronto on Monday, June 10, 2013. Barbara Havercroft §1 After you and John Lodge joined the Moody Blues in August, 1966, the band continued performing the rhythm and blues music played by the previous incarnation of the group. At this point, in the late sixties, you and your four band- mates decided to travel to Belgium to work. Why did you choose Belgium? Were there conditions in Belgium that were conducive to the band’s metamorphosis and the conception of new material, including the Days of Future Passed composi- tions2? Justin Hayward Actually, the band’s metamorphosis came a bit later. You must remember that nothing is planned in this band. We just stumble into things and lucky accidents and great big slices of luck happen to us. So there was no plan. We went to Belgium playing the old rhythm and blues set, which we continued playing for about three or four months after John and I joined [the group] and we simply weren’t very good at it.

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Slater's Silence by Nicky James Slater's Silence by Nicky James
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Slater's Silence by Nicky James Slater's Silence by Nicky James. Black Country-born sixties pop star Nicky James, who shot to fame with The Moody Blues, has died aged 64. Nicky, from Tipton, worked with some of the big names of his day including Denny Laine, Roy Wood, Bev Bevan, Carl Wayne, Mike Pinder, Scott Walker, Tom Jones and Graham Nash. He had been suffering from a brain tumour and died on Monday morning. He was born Mick Nicholls in April 1943 and attended Park Lane School in Tipton. Today his family paid tribute, saying he was a real character and was always cracking jokes. Nicky would joke he got his voice by drinking eye drops as a young boy. He lived most of his young life in Tipton until the age of 16 when he went to Scarborough with his father. However, he would make trips back to Tipton to see his mother Gladys. His sister Pat Coates, who lives in Coseley, said today: "He was a real character. We were very proud when he made his first record. He later moved back to Wiltshire but he always came back to see his mother in Shrubbery Avenue, Tipton. That was where it all started really. He was a lovable rogue." Denny Laine, of Denny and The Diplomats, hired Nicky in the early 1960s after he sang a few songs with the band. Nicky then joined Ronny and The Senators. The Moody Blues, after being signed to Decca Records, enjoyed worldwide fame by the end of 1964 with their recording of Go Now climbing to number one.

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour This album featured the only track to be written by all five members of the band. The opening "Procession" was a piece that was intended to describe the history of music from the beginning of time until the album's recording. The only three words heard in this track – "desolation," "creation," and "communication" – were similarly used (along with many other "­ation" words) in "One More Time to Live." The album reached #1 on the British album charts, in addition to a three­week stay at #2 in the United States, and produced one top­40 single, "The Story in Your Eyes." The track "Emily's Song" was written by John Lodge for his newborn daughter. Studio album by The Moody Blues Mike Pinder wrote and sang the album's concluding track "My Song". Released 23 July 1971 Recorded November 1970 – March 1971 at The title is taken from the student mnemonic for the lines of the Wessex Sound Studios, London treble clef: E­G­B­D­F.

The album proved to be the last for the group with keyboardist Mike Pinder, who departed during the album's sessions, and declined an offer to tour with the group. Pinder had just started a new family in California, and found that he was not getting on with his bandmates as he had before. Pinder would be replaced by former Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz in time for their 1979 tour, beginning a new era in the band's history. Octave would also be the final studio album from the band produced by Tony Clarke.[3][4] Octave was considered a departure from previous Moody Blues albums, mainly because the group's use of lounge­style organs Studio album by The Moody Blues and synthesisers in place of a Mellotron or Chamberlain Released 9 June 1978 (Pinder's song "One Step Into the Light" referenced the Recorded October 1977 – April 1978 at The Mellotron).

  • PEDAL POWER: a Legal Guide for Oregon Bicyclists
    PEDAL POWER: A Legal Guide for Oregon Bicyclists by Ray omas EIGHTH EDITION A PROJECT OF THE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE Obey all signs & traffic lights Bicycles must be driven like other vehicles if they are to be taken seriously by motorists. Never ride against traffic. Use hand signals Hand signals tell motorists what you intend to do. For turn signals, point in the direction of your turn. Signal as a matter of courtesy and safety and as required by law. Ride consistently Ride as close as practical to the right. Exceptions: when travelling at the normal speed of traffic, avoiding hazardous conditions, preparing to make a left turn, or using a one-way street. Choose the best way to turn left There are two ways to make a left turn: 1) Like an auto: look back, signal, move into the left lane, and turn left. 2) Like a pedestrian: ride straight to the far-side crosswalk, then walk your bike across, or queue up in the traffic lane. Use caution when passing Motorists may not see you on their right, so be extra careful where there’s no bike lane if you pass on the right side of cars. Watch for parked cars pulling out, unsignalled right turns and opening car doors. Make eye contact with drivers. Avoid road hazards Watch for sewer grates, slippery manhole covers, oily pavement, gravel and ice. Cross railroad tracks at right angles. For better control as you move across bumps and other hazards, stand up on your pedals. Ride a well-equipped bike Outfit your bike with a good bike lock, tool kit, fenders, and bike bags.
