Thanks Robert. I wish you could be there too. I will be taking three incredible Mellotrons with me. One is the unit that I am currently restoring and the other is the "Lazarus" machine that I completed in 2007 and improved in 2010. Thank you Mike Reina. They are both white. The third one is black and is owned by Joe Colasante, and it is also a product of my shop.
 
There is one conspicuous Mellotron that will NOT be there. I can't tell you which one because if I do, I'll never hear the end of it (Mel). It doesn't know that it will not be attending.

Frank & Gino,

Frank - I'm happy to hear that you are recovering nicely and are feeling much better.

I read about the incredible lineup of the 2012 Nearfest Apocalypse festival and wish both of you guys and everyone else who attends a great time !

I wish I could be there...

Robert

Gino,
 
I am actually in pretty fine shape these days. I belong to a gym, I weigh 178 pounds (down from 239), I eat right and I am working on recovering my upper body strength. I no longer take, nor require blood pressure or cholesterol medication, my blood sugar, triglyceride levels, etc. are all great. Except for a bit of arthritis, I feel fantastic. I think by June 21st, when I leave for Bethlehem, I will be strong enough to schlep a M400 out from my basement and carry it up to my truck by myself... not that I intend to do so.
 
However, I am grateful for your offer of help and not to prideful or stupid to accept and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
 
Frank

It's old home week for me.  All of us record importers from the 70's make contact during the festival.  We feel like we actually did something in our youths.

I will be around if you need help.  I know you shouldn't be humping gear.
