Subject: ... "Floyd-'O-Tron"...

Greetings...
 
.Hey... don't forget one of the best uses of "flute 'Tron"... in Pink Floyd's song "Julia Dream". I don't know 'bout you all... but nothing says '67-'68 Brit-Psych... like a 'Tron playing flutes... and Julia Dream is one of the best examples of this!
 
As for the 'Tron-spotting on the Ummagumma LP... or in "Live in Pompeii"... I don't remember seeing one on the album... I DID see a double manual C-3... and a Farfisa... but no 'Tron... and as the album is in storage, it'll be a while before I can verify this. I DO have "Live in Pompeii" nearby, and will look out for it.
 
While looking for the Moodies video yesterday, I came across Graeme Edge's new web-page... but it's not what you would expect. It appears that Graeme and Amanda Edge have a real estate company... renting out beachfront homes/cottages near Sarasota, in  Florida, where Graeme's been living for a number of years. Sounds like a good investment to me... but it begs the question... is there a Mellotron... or one of those electronic drum kits that fire up every time one opens the 'fridge... in every rental home??? Curious people want to know!!!
