Mellotronists

Hear! Hear! Thank you, Jon!

As a Chamberlin owner, I can only urge the continued support of ALL the
parties involved in the continuation of ALL breeds of our beasts. Having
been on the list for some years now - and having had personal dealings
with Dave when he was here in LA - and personal dealings with both Harry
and Richard Chamberlin - and finding the British >factory< folks a very
important component in the legacy and future of our passions, I like to
think of all of you as friends and colleagues.

I certainly understand from references in posts from time to time 
that there has sadly been some friction between the parties who are 
the keepers of the Mellotron tradition today, but just speaking as a 
worshipper at the altar of the three violins, I am grateful to all of 
you for just being part of the continued existence of these 
instruments.  This is no Rodney King moment on my part, just a thanks 
for not letting this wonderful obsession fade into oblivion.  I hope 
that there is somebody as passionate as all of you folks are to carry 
the torch as nobly as you all have done under what must occasionally 
be difficult circumstances when it's time for all of us old farts to 
move on.  As far as I'm concerned, that's the real issue at stake - 
Mellotron preservation and evolution.
