Responding to the last sentence: If you can find the song  that

I just checked all the other songs I could find from  that same
recording, and couldn't see any that used it. Perhaps he just  checked
it out between tunes.

I recall seeing America back in the early 70s with a Mellotron on stage.  
They never played it. I also saw Shawn Phillips a couple of times live back then  
and he had one onstage both times. Again, it didn't get played. I'm thinking  
that they probably were having problems with them. I know Shawn used one on 
his  records.
