Hi Clay and Gang,

"What's the story,Jerry ?"   That's exactly a line from old
New York City commercial of the 1970's . Some guy named
Jerry (not me, or course), was hawking appliances,wearing
undersize shirt, with his fat hairy gut sticking-out . Yechh!
Anybody from the NYC area remember that one ??
Hint  :   Wasn't Crazy Eddy either .....

Anyway, to answer your question,I'm " Guilty As Charged."
I co-wrote that story in 1997 which orig. appeared in paper-form
as part of Mike's fanzine "Friends Of Mike Pinder."
It then appeared for a time on MP's first  Webpage,
which was created by his son Matt.

Since then, I've been in correspondence with Mike's wife Tara,
to add more embellishments to the new site. When time
permits, more Mellotron links will added. And possibly the
restored Pindertron #134 now owned by Frank Samagaio in CAL.

"That's the fact,Jack !" .......Boom-chaka-laka-laka ........ JK
