Welcome to another edition of the Laptop Sessions!!
Anyway, this song, “Never Comes the Day”, is a Moody Blues tune from “On the Threshold of a Dream” that I absolutely love. Plus, it works great with two people. Justin Hayward (who wrote this song) has a great way of writing a nice, slow song…then busting out to a faster section of the song. Despite the fact that “Threshold” is one of my favorite Moodies albums, this tune always stood out to me because of the way Hayward sings the line, “If only you knew what’s inside of me now…”
I hope you enjoy my first duet here on the Laptop Sessions! Stay tuned for more and keep those requests coming!

Welcome back to another all-new edition of the Laptop Sessions! This summer, Jim and I went through and listened to all the Moody Blues albums — the classic seven (from Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn) and everything that followed (including Long Distance Voyager and the recent, awesome Strange Times). I had heard a lot of Moody Blues songs previously and had seen them live a couple times, but I never really appreciated them until this little summer exploration.
Anyway, this is a song from their album To Our Children’s Children’s Children — it was on the “Gold” collection, too, so it’s not THAT obscure. Not that I’ve been known for choosing obscure songs or anything…
Without further ado, here it is. Keep checking laptopsessions.com daily for a new session EVERY DAY from either Jim, Jeff, or myself. See you next time!

Okay, request time here at the Laptop Sessions. This one’s going out to my longtime friend Drew Kingsley.
“Question” is a great tune by the Moody Blues off of their (you guessed it) “Question Of Balance” album.
I hope you’ll all like my acoustic-ized version of the song. Of course the strumming isn’t as insane as Justin Hayward’s is- I can actually play it at that speed, but have a bit of trouble keeping time when I do. So, I chose the safe route for this version. I think the effect is still there because of the dynamics used.
There will be many more Moodies songs to come, as well as many request fulfillments in the coming weeks- I’m loving this every third day schedule, as it really allows me to pick some tougher songs and practice them until their perfect for internet posting!
As a final note before I close this out, I just want to announce that in late January, we’ll be releasing “The Laptop Sessions: Volume 1″ as a FREE mp3 album download on our website at http://fusco-moore.com/store. It will consist of the first 15 Laptop Sessions from Chris, Jeff, and me and we’ll be coming out with new albums every few weeks. Exciting stuff- now you can put the Sessions on your mp3 player and listen to them whenever you desire!
