Greetings All,    In my former state of NJ, that's "Joisey",
I saw a local band called "Leviathan" use an M400 live.
in the summer of 1972 .  That sowed the seeds of my
Troniac mania a few notches higher than ever before.

Late in 1972, I saw the Moodies at Madison Square
Garden during their "Seventh Sojourn" tour. Pinder's
lengthened 15-minute version of  "The Voyage"
brought me "close to the edge." And shortly thereafter,
YES's LP with same title sent me "over the edge",
determined to get a Mellotron. And so I did in July-1973.

30 years on, I never once regretted that pathway in my life.
