 Sorry
 to be posting one of my own pieces again so soon. You know
 how it is, nothing for ages then 2 come at once.  The title
 comes from a line that Woolly used in 2 of his songs. The
 mellotron voice is a version of the 8 choir by Dave Spiers
 in M-tron Pro. 
 The
 group has become increasingly quiet over the last couple of
 years, ever since Clay sold his Mellotron, I am not sure if
 there is a connection. It seems that the only topics which
 cause a flurry of activity are samples and the old Mellotron
 vs Streetly thing.
 I
 am not sure how many active members there are now or what
 sort of group people want. Obviously there are several
 people on the list with great technical expertise and the
 list remains a great place for getting information on
 mellotrons.
 I
 may be in a minority of one, but the group I would like to
 see would have many more members posting examples of their
 own work using mellotrons and more discussion in the ways
 mellotrons can be used to make music. First and foremost I
 suppose that is my main interest in mellotrons now and I am
 not bothered whether it’s  a real mellotron, Redtron,
 M-tron pro or a digital Mellotron. There are differences but
 they are not so great as to make much difference to me as
 far as the music is concerned. 
 Would
 there be any interest from list members to either move this
 group in that direction or perhaps set up a complimentary
 group with that sort of focus?
 Anyway
 I would be interested in other’s
 views.
 Cheers
 Mark

    Hi Mark,

Thanks for sharing your music which I always enjoy.

I agree with your sentiments and also enjoy listening to the music of the members of this group as well as reading their opinions and trying to learn from their technical expertise, and of course their humor. :-)

Cheers,

Robert
