Thanks for sharing, Frank. Jerry's looking younger than the last photos I saw of him.
Out of curiosity, did he comment at all on why he was hanging up the mellotron mantle? In regards to Korb collecting, just don't tell us that your new hobby is taxidermy.

Today I had a special visitor. Karen and I were delighted to have Jerry Korb stop by for a few hours to visit. We has a chance to talk Mellotrons and to fool around a bit with the 4-Track. Jerry also got a chance to see a M4000 for the very first time. We noshed a bit and knocked back some refreshing Diet Pepsi. Jerry shared a very touching video that was a memorial to his mother. She seemed like a wonderful woman. Jerry informed us that he is the last of his kind.
I told Jerry that if he dies before I do, I want to collect him. ![](\"https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn-cf.aol.com%2Fse%2Fsmi%2F2b00000243%2F08&t=1572485965&sig=hrUfP8DYCkF5DsLqw2fIzQ--~E\")
Can you imagine how great it would be to have Jerry in my collection of Mellotron stuff? ...Ok, I was just kidding about that part.
I had a great time hanging with Jerry. He's a hell of a nice guy and Karen and I are hoping that he and Mali will come visit us for a few days in the summer.
