Mellotronists

Hi David,

     Thanks for the offer.  Actually, Vicki Blechta provided a translation 
(thanks Vicki).  Since I mentioned it on the list  and it *is* Mellotron 
related, I'm including it here in English for all to read.


 
"Hi Ken,

I know a super French group suggested by MUSEA which uses the  mellotron in 
an amazing capacity. It would seem that their keyboard, which was repurchased 
from someone in Switzerland,  was Yes's Novatron. The group is called 
Versailles, but I don't know if they still exist. See you soon. 

Make a wish and voila! www.voila.fr "


We weren't completely certain about the meaning of that second sentence, so I 
added some words to convey what I *think* he meant.

Commenting on the message, isn't Patrick Moraz from Switzerland, and wasn't 
he in Yes at one time?  I wonder if that Novatron could have been his?

Ken M.
