Re: [Mellotronists] Any mellotron used in "I Am Sam"?

2002-03-07 by Jim Anderson

Do you remember which song had the flute sound? I thought it sounded
like tron violins in Sheryl Crow's rendition of "Mother Nature's Son"
(and, she has been known to use a tron before). The liner notes I found
on B&N's site
(http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?ean=638812711946)
don't list a tron, but sometimes a tron may be just listed as
"keyboards." Other tron fans on the soundtrack are Aimee Mann and
Michael Penn but I couldn't hear it on their song either.
