Hi,
It was funny, when he brought it in (my dad) he sampled to the class some famous songs with mellotron and when the lyrics started playing in "the court of the crimson king", people started staring at me because they knew I like prog and silly lyrics, so they gave me a glare of, "wow patrick, your strange".
