That Moment

Re: [newmellotrongroup] That Moment

2008-10-09 by Mark Pring

Every day when I come downstairs for breakfast and walk across the hall way to the kitchen past # 1565, I think good God there is a mellotron in the hall! I still haven't got used to that, although I am developping a somewhat love/hate relationship with my mellotron.

It doesn't happen often, but when it does....

I suddenly realise....I've got a Mellotron!

Anyone else have this?

G'morning!

 

Ken Leonard is working on chronicling my August 2008 Money Pit. He's pretty
busy so I don't know when it will be posted.

Yes, it is similar to the "I've got a Fairlight" moment.
 
Usually a smile is involved...

Bernie,

And I thank you...  Along with Mr. Korb...

I don't use it is as much as I should...

My current band plays biker bars in NE Jersey...  Not much use for the ole' gal...  (Free Bird not allowed...)

If I pulled it out, I would be playing some PorcTree and Krimson (now being taking over by PorcTree...)...

Oh, and I got my AC/DC tix...  Nothing like crossing R&R with The Three Stooges...
