Mellotronists

Hello all,

This past weekend Lee Richards and I invaded Jerry and Mali Korb's 
Mellotron Ranch (thank you for the hospitality, JK and MK!).  We put 
together a little tune to demonstrate Lee's repaired #541 and Jerry's Mark 
I "Julia", with the Korg X3 piano patch played by Van Cluckburn with 
mittens on (it was cold up there in Vermont!).

There'll be more of a trip report to come.

Ironically halfway around the world YLE Radio 1 in Finland was featuring a 
show on the Mellotron and playing cuts from "Improvised Waves" and will do 
so again this Sunday evening.  They'll also air "Leaving for the Black 
Sand", the tune out on the link above, and other things from 
you-must-check-them-out EM bands like RMI.  (Unfortunately, no, there's no 
streaming...they cut out all music streaming when people were getting 
twitchy about copyrights a few years ago.  :-(  )

But if you can get YLE Radio 1 and would like to hear Part 2 of their 2006 
salute to the Mellotron, tune in to Avaruusromua!

...kl...
M400 #805 - featured in Avaruusromua's first salute to the 'tron
M400 #1037 - wanted to contribute some dreary piano, was *too* dreary
