G B...

 

At times, it's not what you say, but how you say it...

 

I'm not huge fan of the Moodies, but I do recognize their contribution to the progress of the instrument...

 

And from a previous topic, I always thought Uncle Floyd was the 5th Beatle...

doesnt seem to be a question of youth now, does it doug? but you probably dont remember half of those records. too bad your youth was wasted on moody blues.

So do you own a Mellotron? Or are you just being an antagonistic a-hole with a chip on his shoulder about the Moody Blues? I've seen many of the bands on your list, live. I can't think of one of them that put on a better show. Different, perhaps, but not better. So you like Mellotrons. We al do. That's why we're here.
