I’d say it is going to the right guy.
Of course I selfishly say that, cuz now Ithink my chances to take a look at one close up just increased substantially.
Congratulationsfrank.
And again, my condolences to the family.
Jim

Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup]Re: Frank Samagaio's gear. Items for sale.
My emotions are mixed. The whole thing is sadder than you realize.I am glad to have it. He wanted to be buried in it. Honest. His family didn'tknow that. Frank didn't play it much. I will.

As I write this, I am sitting in my hotel room here in San Diego, California. I flew out here for two purposes. As I'm sure all of you areaware, Frank Samagaio passed away some months back. When he died, his sisteracquired his music gear and the rest of his personal possessions. I am now thenew owner of Frank's Mark II and I am trying to help his sister liquidate hisother music gear. Needless to say, the Mark II was his most valued possessionand I feel fortunate to have acquired it. I say this recognizing that myopportunity to acquire it came at the loss of someone I considered a friend andfor whom this Mellotron meant a great deal.
I have a list of Frank's other gear. He had a small studio that heran from the first floor of his home. There is a lot of stuff. His family hasdecided to keep his rather valuable guitar collection, but there are monitors,some other keyboards, keyboard controllers, microphones, power amps, a coupleof Akai samplers, attenuators, etc.
Does anyone in this group live in the San Diego area? If so,please contact me off list if you can help us with moving some of thisequipment. Listed below is most of what he had. All of his tapesand recordings are being kept by his family.
Some of this may need clarification. If anyone is interested inany of this, please contact me off list with an offer. Any fair offer will beconsidered. Everything looks to be in very good condition and Frank's sisterwould take anything back if it were for some reason deemed faulty.
