Hi Mattias, again!

Waiting with bated breath to hear the answer to your Birotron question.

Also rumor has it that A. will be playing the states again. If you all
manage to make your way to Los Angeles, let it be known that the same three
Mellotrons are still working well <hint hint>. Oh yes, many other
instruments also... and our living room still has no furniture... we have
sleeping bags...

Best Regards,

- Gene

   Does anyone on the list know what sound is used at the beginning of

Mattias,

I believe it was played by a trumpet, a trombone, a wobbly tenor sax and
three old ladies from Lawrence Welk's
violin section. How Banks got them into that little box, we haven't been
able to figure out yet.
