Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Memory lane time. The Toronto FM station had just received Every
Good Boy Deserves Favour. It wasn't in the stores yet. They were
going to play the whole thing without interuption at about 2 AM.

Somehow we had a direct telephone number to the Disc Jockey. We
called him up at 1:50 AM. We had talked to him a few times before.
He said "Are you ready to hear some Mellotron magic? The first and
last tracks will blow you away". I am sure he had a good buzz
going...(Didn't we all?) Just then, a thunder storm started up. The
lightning fit well with Procession. After hearing My Song, we called
the DJ back and told him that we had seen God. (That's what 12 year
olds said instead of "awesome").

71 was a great year for music.
