I guess we once again fail to communicate. I tried to explain it to you off list but that didn't seem to work.
You don't know me and you obviously don't know much about Mellotrons. You may have demonstrated that you have the ability to listen to music and perhaps identify a song in which one is played, but that's about it. Your opinion carries no weight with me at all. I don't need to put a Mellotron in front of you. The only time that will ever happen is if you are fortunate enough to be in the audience when one is being played by me or someone else (other than you.) I have no reason to accept any challenge from someone who runs their mouth with nothing to back it up. Why don't you describe to us all here what your credentials are?
The community of Mellotronists is a small and devoted one. You may be on this list... but like the old saying goes, "You can't be a biker if you don't own a bike." And you can't be a Mellotronist if you don't have a Mellotron. All you can do is wish.
There are many members of this list who contribute positively yet haven't yet realized their goal of owning a Mellotron. Try being like them.
Why don't you go listen to whatever band you like. If there is something interesting you might like to share with the rest of us, or a question you want to ask,please do. If you would like to start a positive discussion about a subject interesting to you, please do. If all you want to do is spew vitriol and empty challenges, please find someplace else to do so.
Maybe you should reexamine your original posts and try starting over. I'm reasonably sure you've irritated a fair number here besides me.
