Mellotronists

Hey Jerry- when I lived in Southern California/Orange County from 1979-81 there was a 
nightclub band called EMPEROR travelling the same circuit as my band MAGIK DAYZE and 
their keyboard guy had a MK2 onstage he said was Mike Pinder's originally...I can't recall 
the guy's name though. I did go up and look at it onstage a bit in a club.
