Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] "famous" owners

What just struck me as ironic....

The name Uriah Heep and David Copperfield come from Charles
Dickins. The latter is pretty obvious. The prior, I can't
recall from which book...probably the same one!

I noticed that the Uriah Heep mellotron is back up for
auction on Ebay. This time, no reserve.
