Re: The "Elmo and Patsy" Tron on ebay

Re: The "Elmo and Patsy" Tron on ebay

2007-07-15 by lsf5275@aol.com

Research on my part indicates that the Mellotron on ebay from  Patsy's dad's 
studio has the following provenance...
 
none.
 
Patsy's dad appears to have been a nobody and this Mellotron  was not used 
for anything well known.
 
I also have read that Patsy neither sang on nor played any  instruments on, 
"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."
 
She and Elmo are divorced.
 
Elmo paid $50.00 for the song. Elmo's a vet.
 
Patsy seems to have disappeared.
 
Who ever pays what they are asking for that Mellotron will  probably be (a) 
Patsy.

Oh my giddy aunt, a bit of further clicking on that page reveals an
Orchestron up for grabs as well! :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260139710849&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=320136880398&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget

These turn up on eBay even less than 'trons do, and that's saying
something. Looks like it's in pretty good shape as well....
