The Mellotron Group

Greeings all!

I've posted pics of the Dennytron with a couple additions. In addition, 
I've gotten a hold of Bruce Hastell who actually claims that it was his 
machine from back in the day when he was in a band with Denny Laine. 
Sadly, Bruce has no recollection of how he acquired the Mellotron or 
it's prior history. drat.

Regards,
partune

(Sorry for that empty email from me earlier. I tried out the "New! Compose your message 
with Rich-Text Editor" option. My opinion? It works about as well as the DX-7 interface.)

So, that empty email was my comment that, of all the calamities to have befallen the 
mellotron over the years, the loss of all those index cards with the history of every 
machine sold when Mellotronics went under is by far the worst. The history that was lost 
to that trash bin is enough to make one ill.

Okay, maybe I exaggerate. Martin's singing MIGHT be almost as bad.
