Hi Gang,    Thanks for the help to refresh the  ol' brain cells.  As James
Bailey
said, there were several  Jim's there .  And  Clay, thanks to you, I saw my very

first MK-VI  .   ....What else.... "Gingerbread Man" on a tape frame,
....way to go, Chris Dale !  Fritz's debut of the  "Mellotron Song" ,
and lots more.........  Can't believe it's been 4 years and almost five months .

Cheers,  (what's my name again ,  Brian Wilson ?   Mark Tieu ?  .....Dunno.....)
