Outstanding performance by flautist/singer Ray Thomas! How's your practicing turning out?

According to Wikipedia Thomas' band nickname was "'The Flute." Thomas stated that a number of his compositions on the band's earlier albums were made in a studio broom closet, with himself writing songs on a glockenspiel.

Fellow band member John Lodge said, "Ray was my best pal. I met Ray when I was 14. We were two young kids from Birmingham who were reaching for the stars — and I think we got there."
