I heard TMB in the 60's when Nights in White Satin was first on the local radio. Although it was lovely I thought it was an odd sound compared to the 'normal' Detroit STAX R&B, The Band, The Beatles, King Crimson, Rolling Stones and other UK bands that were all the rage. I was soon addicted to TMB and when their To Our Childrens Childrens Children album came out (1973?), that was the one that has totally hooked me as being the ultimate 'concept' album (and still very relevant even today!).
I finally got to see them live during the time that YES keyboardist Patrick Moraz was on board.
Does anyone remember the "Blue Jays" album that the two Js (Justin and John) did solo after leaving the band for awhile? I thought it was marvellous but I have never seen a CD or online version of this album.
Time to fire up iTunes and run through a few old favourites. Thanks for a lovely Seventh Sojourn down memory lane...
Edit: oh wow - I just searched the iTunes Store and there is the Blue Jays album!
