Subject: RE: [Mellotronists] My turn...

Hi folks,

Been away for a few days.. Stuck in the studio in Birmingham's November cold with an overheating soldering iron, miles of cable and some bargain ex-BBC patchbays. The sort of thing that can turn a man strange. Dozens of messages, took me ages to get to the most recent. Nice jolly debate regarding Yes lyrics, some new arrivals, usual sort of thing.

And I finally get to all THIS bickering. Thought I'd stick my oar in seeing as I'm mentioned ( Memotrons/Twattery etc..).

I've never heard such bollocks in my life. And this coming from a chap with far too many Wakeman solo albums.

Just GET OVER IT. No-one's about to wade in with cricket bats, you're all grown-ups now.

Incidentally, I genuinely couldn't be bothered to pass comment on the Vince Gallo thing of a while ago, rather disappointingly the guy came across as a nasty piece of work, don't care how many trons he's got. I enjoyed his film 'Buffalo '66' and actually bought one of his CDs once, it was a sack of cack in spite of the presence of some lovely machines. After the EVIL comments he was prepared to make -and essentially PUBLISH- about some of the folks up here ( and their mothers..) I wouldn't piss on the bloke if he was on fire.

Don, you can't kick the Dickson out, he's the life and soul..

Smooth those ruffled feathers, it's all a bit 'tears before bedtime' and somewhat twattish.

BANTER, BICKER, BROUHAHA..

It's only talk.

Love and Scones,

MSW
