Hi Clay / All:
 
 
Clay - how did you find out about it??
 
 
Well if you blinked you might have missed me!!
 
I was only on for one song (or should that be piece of music?). I did a solo performance of Harrison's Wonderwall soundtrack bit "Drilling A Home". That's the one with the Mellotron Dixieland tapes. I think people were shocked that it was comical quackery coming from the machine and not the Strawberry Fields flutes.
 
But I like to show people that the Mellotron is capable of much more than just the standard sounds we always hear.
I also had promised the organizer of the show that I would appear two times before, yet was unable to make it both times.  And like the last two times when I couldn't go, I only knew my availability at the last minute. So I really owed this to him, and was glad to do it.
 
 
Chris
