Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Hi folks,

I spent an evening of beer drinking with Hoolio Smerdon recently (he did
the bass clarinet and clarinet tracks for Streetly) and he told me this
limerick he'd made up for Martin Beaver, the Canadian violin virtuoso.
(I kid you not. That IS his name.) Anyway, it's easily changed to honour
another Martin whom we all know and (some of the more gullible of us)
love. So here goes...

A Brit mellotronist named Martin
Would begin every concert by fartin'.
He'd tune up his tron
Once everyone had gone,
Then scream out, "Fuck you. I'm startin".

I thank you.

Rick, SFX 10030--no limericks on my tapes!
