Mike ....thanks for posting that !  That first piece you played was very similar to a piece I wrote and recorded around '74 but was never published, which makes it really erie. The choir was always my favorite sound....its amazing what a group of unpaid high school kids can do !!!
    Obviously there were several different choirs on your second piece, and I think I might be able to tell which was which. But Im curious...were you playing the BiroTron(I think not), or the Mellotron with the BT choir tapes?

And you'll also hear the sound of the Birotron choir (eventually) on
