The Mellotron Group

Hi Mark, while some of your criticisms may have hit a nerve in the past I
must say that respect that you stick with these classic tunes....they
really do require many listenings. It  took me a while to get used to
Gabriel's voice and Genesis' "quirky" writing style. Seeing them live
helped a great deal. I really disliked the Moody Blues when i first heard
them- I had no idea there was a mellotron involved. Once i started playing
the instrument I gained a new perspective on them
(aided in no small way by a nice girl named Nancy). Any way I apologize
for my lack of patience as you find your way.
Why aren't people writing? I suspect that many of them have been on this
list for awhile and already said everything about the classic mellotron
tunes they have to say. I've been thinking about what is left for such a
blog. I've been listening to Mattias' work and other contemporary users of
the mellotron. I would post some of my more recent things but I don't have
the constitution to bear the criticism of some of the more caustic members
of this group (just being honest,if also whimpy). You might check out
cathedralprogrock or Tom Doncourt on my myspace.
