                                                       "Suddenly and Unexpectedly".   I realize the family has their right to privacy, I do, but most of the time the cause of death comes out later on anyway, all the more so if it is a celebrity. It's just pure curiosity for the most part. I'm 72[ I hope I live till 82, that is a life well lived in my book] and hopefully I have a few more guitar playing and life enjoying years ahead of me. But when all is said and done, there is an end to everyone and everything. RIP.

I'm not a bass player, but that guy was amazing, way underrated. His lines rivaled any of the best out there. My older sister had the Moody Blues in heavy rotation back in the day so I had plenty of exposure. Weed out the overblown bits and there was a great band underneath. Prog before prog was cool?

R.I.P., Mr. Lodge. And thank you.
