MONEYPIT has served as a rallying-point for
Mellotron enthusiasts/owners in New England since 1998
and now elsewhere. Some work,some music,
and plenty of comraderie/food/drink is our version
of antique car meets, or historical society BBQ's, etc.
I think that for the next MONEYPIT group effort, we should put together a band, where anyone can sit in and jam. You know, including drums, guitar, bass and (heaven forbid) vocals. Maybe a synth or Hammond thrown in. No more than 2 Mellotrons (we wouldn't want to overdo it). If Pierre comes, that's Pierre and one other Mellotronist ;-). Sorry, but I have a strong desire to hear / jam in a band with a real Mellotron, after just viewing the Moodies 1970 "Lost Performance". You know, it could have been so good if they just would have brought their gear to that show. I saw them live in 1971, I know they can do it.
