Now the Moodies were seen as quite cool at my school. Probably a South v North thing.

I liked BJH , King Crimson and The Strawbs too although, for some reason, I never saw BJH.

Anyway, talking of Kettles of Fish......

I was never that hot on The Moodies. At school they were classed as a 'girlie' band
Now BJH, King Crimson, The Strawbs etc were a different kettle of fish

I had previously found what is a border around the edge of the lawn and thought it looked like it could be a garden railway trackbed...

Well that is now confirmed with this...

The Moody Blues were probably its greatest exponents :

Long live the Mellotron

It would appear the stent put in 4 years ago has, to use George's words, gone rogue.
Hopefully that could be a relatively easy fix (if anything to do with heart ops can be described as 'easy')

@GrahamB That's my intention. Can I ask what you used, please? Cutting disc? Razor saw?

I score them with a tile cutter then snap them in half.

I saw King Crimson three times in the very early 70s and always thought of them as being innovative and pushing the boundaries.
To me In the Court of the Crimson King was their best album.

I rather liked the later album from former members Ian McDonald and Michael Giles with the concept track birdman, the whole of side 2, being the highlight.
Unfortunately it's not on you tube these days so no link but if you can find it have a listen.

Quote from: Bealman on April 01, 2026, 03:41:37 AMHow about using the Wanted section, instead of starting up a new topic?

Why can't one start a Lament?

Because it leads to bagpipes...

We're talking about 37s, not 33/1s, surely? 

Chin up old boy and hope you get sorted out soon - Viz a viz as it were!
