Re: big chords?

Foxtrot was recorded in 1971 or 72 wasn't it?  Whatever the case, 
that was well after the MK II motor control mod.

I saw Pinder play the MKII in 1969.  Of course I was just a tiny baby 
at the time, but my appreciation for music developed early.  They 
were running on North American 60HZ converted power....  And it 
was "magnificent".  Have You Heard?
YES.
