Instructions from the Expert:

I appreciate all questions, and have received several repeats over the years.  I've tried to address two of the most common, below:

I have no greater access to the band or any of its members than any other fan.  I do not have any of their personal email addresses, home addresses or phone numbers.  I cannot directly contact their business management, publicists or tour management.  So if you're looking for me to help you contact the band, I'm really sorry, but I truly do not have any way to do that.

Former member Ray Thomas is a common topic of many questioners.  Please check out my previously answered questions to see if any curiosity you may have about him can be satisfied there:  http://en.allexperts.com/q/Moody-Blues-528/indexExp_104064.htm.  Ray also has a lovely new website.  Click over and take a peek! (http://www.raythomas.me/index.php)  If visiting these resources still doesn't answer your question, then by all means, please ask away, and I'll do my best to get you a prompt, informative answer on Ray, or any other subject related to the Moody Blues.  Thanks!

Expertise

I’m pretty confident that I can answer just about any question about the band or their music you may have. I’ve been a fan since 1972 and have followed their careers (collectively and as solo artists,) closely ever since. In addition, I've amassed a vast database on all things Moody - from "completest" discographies for the band and all of their solo projects, to extensive bibliographies, videographies, posterfiles, etc. I have an extensive collection of memorabilia; both group and related solo projects. My collection includes vinyl, CDs, tapes (cassette, 8-track, and reel,) posters, shirts, sheet music and songbooks, back stage passes, magazines, books and other publications, equipment, and video. If I don’t know it, I know where to find it. All you have to do is ask!

Experience

I’ve been a fan of the band since 1972. I was a contributing editor to "Higher and Higher", the Moody Blues Magazine 1994, to the magazine’s untimely demise in 2007, writing the Videography Department.

Publications
As noted previously, much of my writing has appeared in “Higher and Higher” since 1994, but I also wrote a piece that appeared in issue #1 of Mike Pinder’s newsletter “Have You Heard”.

Education/Credentials
Though I haven’t yet finished, my educational focus is on a Journalism degree.

Awards and Honors
I've also had the good fortune to have traveled to England to catch the end of the Band's Spring 2000 concert tour; a trip I've always wanted to take. I’ve supplied research information on the band to a number of sources, including the July 5, 2004 English Quiz Show “Mastermind” which featured a contestant whose expertise was also the Moody Blues. I also participated in the UK Channel 4 presentation of the “Top Ten” program's episode on Progressive Rock, that featured the Moody Blues at #3 on their list. That program aired on March 3, 2001.
