Yep.

One of my favorites…warts and all.

 

I had a young neighbor that had a housefull of keyboards inc. a big B-3with two leslies in his living room, a clavinetand a rhodes EP, and he loved Martin Medeski and Wood.

He grew up after the “Prog rock”thing…he was more into jazz and blues ….I couldn’t believe hedidn’t know what a Mellotron was.

I used this video to show him what thatdistinctive sound was, and he really dug it.

 

We drove toWashington DC to see MM& Wand they had a M400…we actually got on stage to check it out.

He’s been itching to get one since.

Starting 4:00 it is obvious that they no idea how to end this song. 
Mike tries to end it one chorus too early, then recovers... then he 
does it again and they all just back off their mikes and recover.
