Responding to the last sentence: If you can find the song that

I just checked all the other songs I could find from that same
recording, and couldn't see any that used it. Perhaps he just checked

I recall seeing America back in the early 70s with a Mellotron on stage. They never played it. I also saw Shawn Phillips a couple of times live back then and he had one onstage both times. Again, it didn't get played. I'm thinking that they probably were having problems with them. I know Shawn used one on his records.
