ENCORE: John Lodge - The Moody Blues. “Ride My See-Saw”, “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)”. Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Member!
Episode Notes
This is an ENCORE Presentation of my interview with John Lodge, the longtime bassist, vocalist and composer for The Moody Blues. In 2018 he and the band were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He’s written many of their hits including “Ride My See-Saw” and “I’m Just a Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)”. We discuss his experiences in the British Invasion era, his career with the Moodys, and much more. And we do a Songfest!
My featured song in this episode is “The Captain Of Her Heart”, our reimagined version of the song by Double, from the album “Play” by my band, Project Grand Slam. Spotify Link.
