Re: Nashville Mellotron

Speaking of Hot Butter's "Popcorn", as I recall when the song was 
first released in 1972, much to-do was made over it all being
recorded using a Moog.  The string section in the middle however has 
me wondering though....did Stan Free use 'tron strings for that part?
Or am I hearing things?

Inquiring minds want to know,

FS. Weller (when I'm done with my studio, #574 would look very nice 
there)
