Hi Clay and Gang,

"What's the story,Jerry ?"   That's exactly a line from old
New York City commercial of the 1970's . Some guy named
Jerry (not me, or course), was hawking appliances,wearing
undersize shirt, with his fat hairy gut sticking-out . Yechh!
Anybody from the NYC area remember that one ??
Hint  :   Wasn't Crazy Eddy either .....

Anyway, to answer your question,I'm " Guilty As Charged."
I co-wrote that story in 1997 which orig. appeared in paper-form
as part of Mike's fanzine "Friends Of Mike Pinder."
It then appeared for a time on MP's first  Webpage,
which was created by his son Matt.

Since then, I've been in correspondence with Mike's wife Tara,
to add more embellishments to the new site. When time
permits, more Mellotron links will added. And possibly the
restored Pindertron #134 now owned by Frank Samagaio in CAL.

"That's the fact,Jack !" .......Boom-chaka-laka-laka ........ JK

Paul Marshall
M400 #1380 (currently 'virtually' appearing in a theatre production of Jesus
Christ Superstar via an Akai sampler!)

No.
Release date June 27 2004.
If you order it through www.mikepinder.com, the DVD will be 
autographed and personalized by Mike.  (Fritx...try to contain your 
excitement please).

Hopefully, he is making some extra money this way.  He missed out on 
the past 20 years of lucrative nostalgia tours.

You can buy the same CD on Amazon for $10.00.. But I am paying the extra $10
in the hope that Mike gets more money this way. It also gave me the
opportunity to thank him personally for the inspiration his music gave me.
Worth every penny!
