Sad Strings

2003-09-01 by Rick Blechta

Hey folks!

It's gotten awfully quiet since the blow-up last week. Is everyone 
scared to post or something?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone besides me has ordered Streetly's new 
magnum opus, Martinge's soon-to-be-famous Sad Strings. How sad are 
they? Martin tells me that Dickson was so depressed he moved south 
across the border, realizing he couldn't face another Scottish winter 
because of his emotional state. He also bought a puppy and has taken up 
flower arranging in an attempt to lighten his mood.

As far as I'm concerned it's a "must have" along with the Russian 
choir. Maybe I'll put them side by each in the same station! Wow! Think 
of the Doom. Think of the Dread. Think of the complaints from band 
members!

Seriously though, this is a fabulous voice that I can't wait to have in 
the new set the lads and I are in the middle of designing. Is anyone 
else as interested in this new voice as I am -- or am I alone in the 
vast wasteland of common mellotron sounds?

Rick (FSX 10030 -- what no Ted Turner choir this time? And you're not 
even going to send me over there to hang out with the lads at the Twat 
and Handbag?! Cor blimey! (said with the finest Disk van Dyke Cockney 
accent)
