> This morning I heard a Springsteen song "Thunder Road" and heard mellotron

this song as well as other recordings? Andy, what other songs do you have on
your list that Bruce used a mellotron on?

'Thunder Road'? From 'Born to Run'? Surprising - had no idea Bruce has used
a 'Tron back then. The only thing I've got listed is 2002's 'The Rising',
although I've been told that it's completely inaudible. This seems to be
becoming endemic - the one credited track on the new Ian Anderson album has
nothing that could even possibly be 'Tron.

Sad to hear about Mel Pritchard - there was never really any hope for an
original BJH reunion, but that really scuppers it. Oh well, roll on Woolly
in March.
