Good day and thank you for all the nice replies all you nice Mellotronial 
people out here!

But as Captain Tenneal(1) would say in his own inimitable style:  You were 
all...wrong.

I realized that chord pattern wasn't Debussey, Gary Busey, Buford T. 
Pusser, Holst, Holsters, Holsopple, Howe, Dewey, Cheatem, Elton John, 
Macca, or my co-worker Bob who had too much cabbage last night and can 
actually squeeze out a Doric(2) scale (he is descended from the Romans, you 
know).

"Leaving for the Black Sand" seems to employ similar chords to the chorus 
in "Isn't Life Strange"---the "Wish I could pee in your eyes" part.  No 
bloody Elton lions, no Clapton "Tears in Heaven".  Just pee.  Unless Elton, 
Eric, Justin/John, Lee, and I are all on the same wavelength somewhere...or 
maybe this is just a popular run.  OK, it's easy for Van Cluckburn to play 
and was a good base for Lee to put down some decent melody lines that now 
won't leave my head.

And you won't "hear Elton in Ken,"  Sir Fritz of New Domicile.  I don't 
swing that way.  Still, there's nothing wrong with "rediscovering the 
wheel," as you say, and everyone should have your album "The Feeling of 
Far" (www.fritzdoddy.com - don't delay!) if they haven't yet discovered it 
for the first time.  Further, for a full stereophonic intercourse with Mary 
and her little lamb, check out "As the Water Recedes..." on the "absolutely 
essential Mellotron album" called "Improvised Waves" (www.kleonard.com - 
only about 798 copies left---and someone in Finland is getting one of those 
precious items in the post soon!).  Recycling is good for the 
environment.  Just see what it did for Vanilla Ice...they found out he 
recycled, and he was soon gone from our environment.  Yay.

And Julia with chips in the veneer, Mr. Merbler?  Not on Jerry's watch!!!
