Mellotronists

Today I had a special visitor. Karen and I were delighted to  have Jerry 
Korb stop by for a few hours to visit. We has a chance to talk  Mellotrons and 
to fool around a bit with the 4-Track. Jerry also got a chance to  see a 
M4000 for the very first time. We noshed a bit and knocked back some  
refreshing Diet Pepsi.  Jerry shared a very touching video that was a  memorial to 
his mother. She seemed like a wonderful woman. Jerry informed us  that he is 
the last of his kind. 
 
I told Jerry that if he dies before I do, I want to  collect him.  Can you  
imagine how great it would be to have Jerry in my collection of Mellotron  
stuff? ...Ok, I was just kidding about that part.
 
I had a great time hanging with Jerry. He's a hell of a nice  guy and Karen 
and I are hoping that he and Mali will come visit us for a few  days in the 
summer.  
 
 

           
Karen, Jerry and Bear  in the kitchen. Bear instantly wondered if Jerry had 
any  food.

I  want Jerry to bring his table saw and his soldering iron and move in  
with us. (With his wife, of course)
    
 
Between us we make a pretty good Mellotron repairman.
