Fw: [Mellotronists] Re: pete townshend on the mellotron.

I was actually trying to say that being a mildly disturbed knucklehead and a hypocritical idiot does not preclude one from being able to write great music. I loved "Who's Next," the LSO version of "Tommy" and most of "Quadrophenia," although the pre-keyboard stuff I can live without. Side note, Brian Kehew was playing keyboards on the current or just-recent Who tour. Anybody see a show?

Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] Re: pete townshend on the mellotron. Everything I read is spot on true. One thing though: The boy used that Lowrey home organ in a really original and rare way on that song I confuse with the other one. His use of the EMS Synthi / vcs3 is impressive to many of us synthi wonks. His Arp work emulating orchesteral beds (not the leads and ordinary stuff) is again impressive.
