(Sorry for that empty email from me earlier. I tried out the "New! Compose your message
with Rich-Text Editor" option. My opinion? It works about as well as the DX-7 interface.)

So, that empty email was my comment that, of all the calamities to have befallen the
mellotron over the years, the loss of all those index cards with the history of every
machine sold when Mellotronics went under is by far the worst. The history that was lost
to that trash bin is enough to make one ill.

Okay, maybe I exaggerate. Martin's singing MIGHT be almost as bad.
