I certainly understand from references in posts from time to time
that there has sadly been some friction between the parties who are
the keepers of the Mellotron tradition today, but just speaking as a
worshipper at the altar of the three violins, I am grateful to all of
you for just being part of the continued existence of these
instruments. This is no Rodney King moment on my part, just a thanks
for not letting this wonderful obsession fade into oblivion. I hope
that there is somebody as passionate as all of you folks are to carry
the torch as nobly as you all have done under what must occasionally
be difficult circumstances when it's time for all of us old farts to
move on. As far as I'm concerned, that's the real issue at stake -
Mellotron preservation and evolution.
