Ex-Wagnerian.  Still not a bad idea, I could do a live continuous performance and sell tickets, even with the airfare to New Zealand it would be cheaper than Bayreuth. If I get some Wagner fans they could even have a punch up in the living room over the production. My wife, myself, the dog and cats could easily manage all the singing.  Probably get in the Guiness book of records, playing the mellotron for 15 hours continuously and at the end the tron goes up in flames rather than Valhalla.

I'll let you know when the DVD is ready and I shall be posting excerpts on Myspace.

without a resolution, well better than 4 hours of the opera I suppose.

Ahhh...A Wagnerian in the group. Someone needs to do an all Mellotron
version of the 15 hour Ring Cycle. We will help you do it Mark.
