Moody Blues Cruise 2014, Day Five
After getting to bed at 3 am last night, it felt great to be able to sleep in until 11 am! Once I finally got up, I had to hustle, because I really wanted to see…………….
12 pm – The Orchestra [former members of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)] Storytellers segment in the Theater

I made sure I went to the
Roger Dean gallery, and spoke to Roger for at least 30 minutes. Roger said yes,
he would be happy to work with my band and do an album cover!
Roger Dean’s large canvas artwork from this Uriah Heep album cover was for sale on the 2014 Moody Blues Cruise and the YES Cruise to the Edge
“The Inconsolable Secret” for Glass Hammer is one of Roger Dean’s most recent album covers
Speaking of artwork, I had a great conversation with Rudie Baldwin from Carl Palmer Artwork. Carl’s art is truly amazing. He plays with drumsticks that have LED’s embedded in them, and the movements are captured on film. Very cool.

In the afternoon, Brook Hansen and Tom Tutino of the Prog Rock Orchestra performed on the karaoke stage doing some acoustic piano and guitar stuff – Tim Marshall of the Prog Rock Orchestra joined in for a few tunes!
