September 2001
I can only imagine the pain, suffering and anger of the people
directly affected by the tragedies of Sept 11th. It's almost beyond
belief. As you know, the people of Great Britain and London, my
home for most of my life so far, have experienced acts of terrorism
many times in the last thirty years. But now nothing on the scale
of the USA. I feel as if someone I love has been mortally wounded.
But America will always be the greatest nation on Earth (and I've
seen the rest of the World). I pray there can be peace on Earth.
I'm supposed to have written some new songs since I got back
from the tour, but it's hard to find the words at the moment,
but the melodies are there and the expression will come. We (the
Moodies) are back in the studio through November and I'm looking
forward to being with the gang again.
We had such a great tour of the West Coast through August. I
felt the band played really well. The promoters were pleased too
as we sold out most of the venues. Not many groups could truthfully
make that claim this summer.
I've been trying for some time now to get the rights back to
my early albums. They should hopefully be available, at least
on this web site in the near future. As some of you may know Decca
gave the other Moodies their recordings back years ago but not
mine. I never knew their reasons but I have my ideas. Anyway,
I love Songwriter and Nightflight, two of the few albums recorded
at the wonderful Threshold Studios all those years ago.
Look out for my song with Kenny Loggins, it's fab!! I just hope
it makes it on to his album. I went to see him live when we were
in America on the tour and he was great.
The Amazing Caves has led to calls and compliments from many
different quarters, from movie directors, Mayors, and even Natural
History professors who weren't really aware of the Moody Blues
before.
Thanks for being here,
With Love Justin.
