The Mellotron Group

Certainly wasn’t by my choice, for God’s sake.
You never know who’s path you’ll cross.
Was in an advanced open water class, the class shrunk to two plus the instructor.
The guy seemed like a typical bulls shitter, and about a week after we finished, the news came on about him.
We knew him as “Bog Long”, second day a picture was posted, then we knew.

  Received the invitation through Martin awhile ago, so I accepted it.
  I do not know this fellow.
  Probably a harmless serial killer type, and they don’t scare me.
  I know a guy who “iced” 9 women, so how bad can he be?

  PS yes he was caught, has 8 life sentences, and 1 death penalty.

  RE:  OK, now that we have you, fess up. What's your infatuation with Mellotrons?

  This is a rhetorical question, right?  Until the wonders of the Internet, I had to bore anybody who looked knowledgeable with questions about the excellent sound on a few select 60's songs (for that is my era).  The songs were '200 light yrs from home", and most of the songs on "days of future passed' (except nights in white satin, which I am sick of); pr'haps a few others.  This led to King Crimson, Genesis, and a few others until the dark ages of the late 70s closed over us.
