Remembering Denny Laine

Amidst it all, there is music and Denny Laine, who died days back, too young at age 79, was an integral part of two groups, “The Moody Blues” and “Wings,” whose songs resonate greatly with millions of people, most certainly me.

Denny Laine was an original member of the incredible “Moody Blues,” with the hit song “Go Now,” a memorable hit during Denny’s relatively brief time with the group.

Later, on to “Wings,” with the one and only Paul McCartney, yielding so many great songs/hits “Band On The Run” and “Junior’s Farm” two of the best.

Some baseball related: Yankees broadcaster called the ’74 team, that bid for and fell just short of the O’s in the A.L. East race, The “Band on the Run.”

Next via Yahoo, in tribute to Denny Laine, he also won 30 (actually 31) for the Tigers in ’68. Another “commentator” you add Paul McCartney to get Denny McLain.

I add Ray Lane was one of the Tigers’ broadcasters that season.

Go easy, Denny Laine and thank you, thank you!!
