Mellotronists

This is mainly directed to Martin and John (Abraham is right out of the
picture).

Anyway, a fellow by the name of Mike Phillips, who says he worked with
you guys on 'trons many years ago, is now the head technician at CKLN-
FM here in Toronto (http://www.ckln.fm). We were talking about old
keyboards recently (I have a programme there on Sunday nights called
Electric Storm / A Missing Sense), and inevitably the subject of
Mellotrons came up. It was at this point that he spilled the beans
(which took ages to clean off the carpet), and confessed to his
involvement with our friendly rogues. He also said to pass on a big HI
to you guys.

Oh, and to Mr. Dale: He also confessed to doing the bodge on a certain
double unit for a fellow named Flakeman, or Brakeman, or something like
that.
