Mellotronists

Jeff,

Since most Cantonese speakers nowadays also speak Mandarin, Mandarin
is the most widely spoken language in the world. In China, the most 
popular foreign language is English. All Chinese children speak at 
least a little English. It's taught in all primary and secondary 
schools. I think that within 20 years all Mainland Chinese will speak 
English and Mandarin. I'm currently in China teaching English to 
Mandarin-speaking children, as well as sharpening my own Mandarin 
skills by having to teach them in their native language. Cultural 
exchange is where it's at.

So what does this all have to do with Mellotrons? Not a darn thing.
