I made-up that famous owner (message 5067)

I made-up that famous owner (message 5067)

Sorry, it was a joke. see message 5067 I thought John Hofmeyer got 
the joke right away, but... and sorry Mr. Jim Brundage, when you 
mentioned that crazy information at that cocktail party I bet it 
brought stunned silence to the room. I based my "joke" on the 
book, "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens, a character in the 
story has the name Uriah Heep. I'm a regular reader of the great 
works (via Classic Comics, Cliff Notes, etc.).
But, the David Nixon mention is real.
No more jokes for me, one year!

Aw man, that sucks! I guess I'm a little slow! Too much "fun" during my
youth I think. Shoot... now I'm wondering if my M400 really was once
owned by Gallagher! I think I've been had. Well, It actually was some
cocktail party so that'll be my excuse. Hopefully he wont remember what
I told him either. I think I'll shut up now and just go back to reading
the threads... Although I'd still be interested in knowing the answer if
there is one.

I recall, now, the original joke... My bad for falling for it
on its 2nd time around..

BTW, the Heap tape rack (in the Ebay aution) is dated early
80s.  Did they use mellotron on their recordings and live
shows then?  That would be around Conquest / Abominog /
Equinox (...I think that's the album title...)

I am curious as to what that tape rack sounds like.  Maybe
the next owner will be selling samples on Ebay...

We've got the Heap SFX if anyone wants them.  It's their vocals and snippetts 
of albums as I recall.  I'll check.
