I've always loved the Moodies and Hayward had recently said he would be open to a reunion with Pinder and Thomas. Lodge has been pushing for that for a couple of years. Thomas added so much character to the band. So many great songs and while he wasn't an Ian Anderson type flute player, he was always quite tasteful and the songs benefit from his presence. I saw the Moodies on several occasions but the show that stands out was in Raleigh. Thomas and Moraz had a keyboard/flute section in Legend of a Mind that was terrific. The place was dead quiet, the sound was terrific and the Moodies were great. RIP, Mr. Thomas.
