Subject: International Mellotron Awareness Week: Need help!

From: "Resident" <bobbyp1966@...>

Hi, just got through joining up at www.mikepinder.com and checking out
the scene there. Also posted that I'm trying to get International
Mellotron Awareness Week going, but so far it's slow; The only thing
I've done is form the name and make a large jar of pickled eggs for the
only member thus far. I'm severely into the Moody Blues and Rush (Yes,
they used a Mellotron in the song "Tears" off the 2112 album, believe
it or not!), very prog-friendly. I'm beyond total fascination with the
Mellotron and am trying to salvage enough old tape recorders so I can
snag the playheads out and make my own of sorts (To be called
the "Bobbotron", for legal reasons). Anyone wanna hop on board the
activism bandwagon and join to spread awareness? Some IT help would be
great! And BTW: We'll need to find a President, because I'm not good
at politics. I can probably take a far lesser office, I just wanna get
the movement off the ground. PLease hit me back...thanks!
