The Mellotron Group

Yes he does Frank - and though some would disagree, I feel the world's a 
much better place for it. 

Didn't know that Andy did, However, so I hope it's a good/happy one with 
all kinds o' tronnish accessories.

You had previously brought up Christmas Carols and this reminded me that 
I wanted to comment that my all time favorite Christmas Album is Joan 
Baez's Noel.  She recorded it in 1966 for Vangaurd, and though a touch 
shrill in a couple of spots, her voice works beautifully with Peter 
Shickele's spare but gorgeous  traditional arrangements.  I especially 
enjoy his work with the cellos and violins.  Ave Maria and Cantique De 
Noel, performed in the original german and french respectively, are not 
to be missed.  A couple of years ago it was reissued with bonus tracks 
that expand the album nicely.

My second fave the Bing Crosby Christmas Album.  Nothing needs to be 
said about that one.
