Coytee 2383 Posted April 11, 2016 Nope, nope and nope. Another hint.... though he's not the lead singer, they have a floutist (flutist?) in the band however, today he has retired for what I understand to be health reasons (not sure about that). He at least doesn't tour with them so they replaced him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dncdesign 7 Posted April 11, 2016 Tull is the only English Flutist I know of and there wasn't a Stratocaster played,, mostly 6 string Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coytee 2383 Posted April 11, 2016 I'll admit.... I thought this would be pegged in about 2 posts. I don't know if I should offer another hint or perhaps, Tuesday afternoon, spill the beans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacksonbart 370 Posted April 11, 2016 Just Hayward played a Telecaster? Thought he was Gibson all the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dncdesign 7 Posted April 11, 2016 Last hint says Moody Blues to me. Moody Blues opened for YES in Eckerd Hall, Clearwater and they were horrible. Whereas I was so delighted to get to see Chris Squire before he passed and I cannot say enough about Steve Howe's performance - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dncdesign 7 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Deep Purple has a flautist Kinda graspin' at straws now huh... Edited April 11, 2016 by dncdesign Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 12733 Posted April 11, 2016 OK. Not the lead singer must be John Lodge? The song "I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dncdesign 7 Posted April 11, 2016 John Lodge Didnt he play bass - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 12733 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Yeah you're right. Then it might be the part time flautist himself, Ray Thomas. But no. I'm going back to Lodge because he also played guitar. Edited April 11, 2016 by oldtimer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dncdesign 7 Posted April 11, 2016 I'm digging on Robin Trower or Rory Gallagher - they were good but not IMO best of the best... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coytee 2383 Posted April 11, 2016 Last hint says Moody Blues to me. Just Hayward played a Telecaster? Thought he was Gibson all the way BAM! Justin Hayward during the solo part of Question. Stage lights go out.... lights focus on him and he cuts loose. My next hint was going to be the song he's playing is actually two different songs he was writing (apparently in the same key) and he couldn't finish either one of them.... so, he strung them together and Question was born.
