Mellotronists

Hmm... I didn't see this but I happen to know some guys who tech'ed for 
Razorlight for a while. They used a Mellotron briefly for one song but 
switched to a mockup with midi controller fairly swiftly.

Samples? Fine, I understand. Pretend Mellotrons? Get a life. You've got 
knowledgeable techs, you might as well carry the real thing around. If I can 
drag mine around in a VW hatchback unassisted then the indulged princelings 
of rock have no excuse. I blame the parents. Bring Back National Service, 
etc..

Rah Rah Rah,

p.s. my Leslie 700 and Washburn Woodstock 12-string for sale on Ebay NOW!!
