I don't know why they insist on putting in a category for Patrick, but not for ANY other legally hired side musician. Go figure.

Anyway Norda has out a new album, and is wanting folks to give it a listen. Darn I can't find the link, so I'm hoping some passing reader will pop it in here. She has a really good voice, and had/has her own career and band outside the Moodies. I couldn't find the link on her FB, I'll try to update this as I go along.

Norda will be doing a chat over on TER on Jan 26, regarding her new album.

You can find the links at http://www.travellingeternityr.....d.yuku.com

I won't be over there because it's too much hassle to log on anonymously, and people seem to enjoy attacking me there, so I don't wish to stir up any stuff. Good luck to all, not everyone is into "posting" on TER. I do love Norda tho, so let's all support her as much as we can.

Norda's a powerhouse of talent. I'm in awe of her, but I won't be going, either.

Now, if she were to be talking about the Moodies' next album . . .

Thanks for the link. I caught myself wondering what this would sound like a few times.

She talks like an intelligent and fun person. I'd like to have a listen in my spare time.

I never knew she sang like that. I was expecting a flute ensemble. The voice was nice, but I didn't take the time to try to filter out the electronics, which I curiously wanted to do. I thought the music was nice, but I wasn't into it enough to go buy it. Then, I thought how much more she must know about music, and how much I was missing.

I was surprised to know she went to Interlochen. We always got those invitations for summer camp kinds of stuff. Had I gone, maybe I would have met her. Didn't Alan have some kind of Interlochen connection, too? Wow. I really missed out.

It goes to show Julie IS the luckiest girl in the world. She's in sunny Southern Cal.

No. I don't think it's luck. I think it's living right.

SoCal stinks.......... literally. I grew up there and moved for a reason. To each his own........... hopefully Julie is smart, and lives in the mountains, or near the ocean.

Gordy has been on the radidio! Gordy with 10cc

Puke. Sorry. LA is a good place to be FROM. Always can find work, that's good, but it's like the Land of Mordor. However, I CAN get around down there, better than most I suspect........... old stomping grounds. I really hope he can pick up solo shows down there. Surely.

So does Florida.................... You've obviously never lived in SoCal for a long period of time. You wouldn't like it after a while, take my word for it. Looks like Justin is going to do LA in June maybe, may I offer my services as taxi again? Take you ALL over the LA basin. I know the good roads. (Better than Oakland I might add)

Alan, Gordie, Julie and Norda are very talented and personable musicians.

They add a lot to the Moody Blues' concerts.

Does anyone know if Alan and Julie will be joining Justin again on his solo tour??

Dee it's a total mystery............. I have heard rumors that Alan won't be along, and possibly NOT Julie, might just be Justin and Mike.

I have yet to hear whom Justin had at his solo show on the boat. NO stories yet. I'm a little put out, I really took time to keep people informed when *I* did the cruise, and no one is returning the favor sadly.

I guess that's how fan clubs go. Cry

I was wondering why people don't demand bios on these guys? I guess we're not love-crazed over them. Gordy, were you looking at me? Julie, what torn relationships drove you to play the piano with such a plaintive touch? I know, we strive to relate to stars like other people in their lives, but the closest we get is an opportunity to ask questions. We try to make it count, so we come up with all these weirdo questions. We start asking questions about the guitar as if our life depends on it, like, "What Larry Robinson inlay best fits your personality?" Going back to my earlier post, it as if we seek to create a spiritual universe given the substance of the material world in the hopes that somewhere these "orthogonal" planes actually do intersect.
