The Mellotron Group

I think I should probably said erotic particularly the last 30 seconds.

Shame she didn't / doesn't record more Bach as after Gould and Tureck I think she is one of the finest interpreters of Bach on the piano.

The curiosity was killing me and to date, I couldn't find any discussions on this topic.  I always wondered what keyboard instrument Steven plays on tour, because it appears to have a wooden cabinet like a small vintage organ ?

If you look at photo 79, it appears to be an M-Audio 61 key keyboard controller housed in a wooden cabinet.

I wonder what keyboard instrument the cabinet was originally from ?

Not sure why. The Davoli didn't make it's appearance on a Caravan album until For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night. Steve Miller never used one.

As for the subject of the thread, I consider Lol to have been a dear friend despite only having met him a few times. I recorded some performances he did here in Toronto while on tour with The Matchbox Purveyors (a duo with Ian Hinchcliffe) and hung out with him over a few days in London a couple of years later. A delightful gentleman who will be sadly missed. 

BTW, this isn't exactly OT. Remember his "Superbly Played Mellotron Codas" on Ear of Beholder.

Jim,
You're right, my mentioning of Lol Coxhill's passing is not necessarily OT not only because of the slight use of the Mellotron on "Ear of Beholder", but because he was a musician, and "I think", that all music posts are generally accepted on this list ?
However my guess is, regardless of how eclectic he was, that Lol's style of playing is an acquired taste, and may not be appealing to many of the members on this list ?  So that may be the reason that I prefaced the heading of his passing as "OT".
He will be missed, that's for sure...
Robert

True. Almost frightening when I think about it. I was just listening to those LPs a few weeks ago.

Oh and yes, Robert, he did have a challenging style at times but a delight to those who manage to acquire the taste (Hey! Who let that Giant in here? I don't care how gentle he is!). Perhaps "entirely" would've been a better word than "exactly".
