An interesting anecdote...In the early 70s I performed in a band
called STARGATE around Ohio and Michigan doing prog covers and
top 40,plus some originals.I had my M400 #328 along for the ride.We
opened for Bob Seger at a club on Lake Erie one night and we were
doing "Court Of The Crimson King" when Bob entered the club.He stood
and watched us a long while. Later he came up to me and shook my hand
and said..."Man,that mellotron sounds great!" Not too long after,he
was using one on his lps,including "Turn The Page". I think it was
played by Craig Frost (who later played with Grand Funk?).Bob was also
the nicest guy in his whole band...strange to think that watching me
play my tron influenced him to get one,perhaps?
