------------------------------------------------------- JANUARY 1981 ------------------------------------------------------- Source: Billboard Moraz Says Yes To Moody Blues Swiss keyboard virtuoso Patrick Moraz -- who briefly replaced Rick Wakeman in Yes for the 'Relayer' album -- has now been picked to fill Mike Pinder's shoes in the Moody Blues. Pinder, currently secluded in Canada, has refused to tour with the group, which is on the brink of a big U.S. blitz. Says Moodies drummer Graeme Edge: "We are not closing the door on Mike, but by his refusal to tour he has walked out through it. If this current lineup is as successful as indications suggest, then the public can expect a lot more action from the Moody Blues."
