An old mate of the tronbros

2007-05-30 by James Bailey

This is mainly directed to Martin and John (Abraham is right out of the 
picture).

Anyway, a fellow by the name of Mike Phillips, who says he worked with 
you guys on 'trons many years ago, is now the head technician at CKLN-
FM here in Toronto (http://www.ckln.fm). We were talking about old 
keyboards recently (I have a programme there on Sunday nights called 
Electric Storm / A Missing Sense), and inevitably the subject of 
Mellotrons came up. It was at this point that he spilled the beans 
(which took ages to clean off the carpet), and confessed to his 
involvement with our friendly rogues. He also said to pass on a big HI 
to you guys.

Oh, and to Mr. Dale: He also confessed to doing the bodge on a certain 
double unit for a fellow named Flakeman, or Brakeman, or something like 
that.
