Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

as previously mentioned, i have been asked to conduct a
workshop on the mellotron by chuck van zyl, organizer
of the "gatherings" concert series [the RMI show here
in philly was part of that series].

this will be, mostly, an introduction to these machines
for the curious, the ignorant, and whoever else is willing
to part with some cash in order to learn a little about
these things.

so... i would like to create some reference materials
for the audience. rather than ask each person individually
what of their paraphernalia is available for this, i
will ask this group as a whole: is ther any particular
material on your collective websites that you would
rather i did NOT make use of. i have no intent of being
an outright plagiarist, but i would like to assemble
something covering mellotrons, possibly, and with your
permissions, compiling some of the various data out there.
[ie: history/background, various models and their features,
numbers made of each, that sort of thing...]

thanks in advance for your considerations.
jeff

btw: thanks to jimmy moore and gino wong for offering
to pitch in and help out with this. and of course to
martin and company for the encouragement and advice.
