Mellotronists

I must with great shame and loss of face admit thatthe EBAY 12k  once 
did belong to me.  I lost it back stage at the Long Island five Points 
club during a game of spin the Finlandia whilst working for Jorma 
Kaukonnen and Bobby and the Midnites  in the late 70's  just before the 
mob tool the place over.

In a sad case of nepotism , my cousin: Melvin "Scrappy" Zedong Wong had 
been taken on as the Mellotron tech. His machines are distinctive by 
the  yellowish service port in the lower rear of the units under his 
care.

My partner at the time Michel Frogman Polizzi liked old Mel and would 
often invite him to our after hours fiddlesticks tourneys...

On the night in question, I had been summoned by Jorma to read him an 
IRS letter and twist off a cap for him..

When I returned Scrappy was playing Heart and Soul in the freshly 
repainted (or something) yellow and brown Tron.  Alfonso Johnson was 
sleeping in the Protecto Muff cradling a Chapman stick. and the rest of 
the band and crew were lying about with various coloured Afghans.

I was dismissed shortly thereafter for allowing the guys to consort 
with the wrong type of puppies.
