Mellotronists

Really got a kick from all the "Siskell-Ebert" reviews concerning RT 
and Moodies contributions. Didn't know bashing was such a strong point 
with some in this group until I recall posting a tron on ebay a year 
ago.
RT made positive contributions to the group since it was formed back 
in the Go Now days, yet it seems when members of a group try to go 
their own way, some seem to fall short.  But that should not diminish 
all the positive contributions they have brought forward. Anyone who 
has seen MB live can attest to this.  I remember seeing Roy Orbison 
here in what was to be one of his last shows and to me he could do no 
wrong, but in perspective some of his efforts on stage fell short but 
that would not change my opinion of him as a performer or question why 
I listened to him all these years.  We should try to stay focused on 
the positive side and keep these contributions in proper perspective.
