Mellotronists

Sad news indeed my friends. 
Buried somewhere beneath the latest Big Brother stories and much other non 
news in our newspapers here in the UK you'll find a story that will sadden 
all of us brought up during the seventies listening to the likes of Elton 
John. Legendary producer Gus Dudgeon and his wife were killed in a car crash 
on the M4 motorway over the weekend.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player are 
still my favourite EJ albums. Both produced by Gus Dudgeon and both featured 
some great Mellotron. All respect to a man who had the vision to use the tron 
in a commercial situation seeing beyond the "Prog Rock" tag it had been 
given.
