Re: The "Elmo and Patsy" Tron on ebay

Re: The "Elmo and Patsy" Tron on ebay

Research on my part indicates that the Mellotron on ebay from Patsy's dad's studio has the following provenance...
none.
Patsy's dad appears to have been a nobody and this Mellotron was not used for anything well known.
I also have read that Patsy neither sang on nor played any instruments on, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."
She and Elmo are divorced.
Elmo paid $50.00 for the song. Elmo's a vet.
Patsy seems to have disappeared.
Who ever pays what they are asking for that Mellotron will probably be (a) Patsy.

Oh my giddy aunt, a bit of further clicking on that page reveals an
Orchestron up for grabs as well! :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260139710849&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=320136880398&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget

These turn up on eBay even less than 'trons do, and that's saying
something. Looks like it's in pretty good shape as well....
