Fascinating bit of reading. I believe an ancient issue of "Keyboard" magazine or one of its linear predecessors was my source for the "Runaway" info, which I found no reason to doubt when I got my hands on my own Solovox around 1980. Play that solo on the Solovox, and it is indistinguishable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernie Kornowicz" <kornowicz@...> To: <Mellotronists@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 11:54 AM Subject: [Mellotronists] [looking-for-answers] Re: Album Openers (Was: Deadwing)
