Fw: [Mellotronists] Re: pete townshend on the mellotron.

I was actually trying to say that being a mildly disturbed knucklehead and a
hypocritical idiot does not preclude one from being able to write great
music. I loved "Who's Next," the LSO version of "Tommy" and most of
"Quadrophenia," although the pre-keyboard stuff I can live without. Side
note, Brian Kehew was playing keyboards on the current or just-recent Who
tour. Anybody see a show?

Everything I read is spot on true.
One thing though:
The boy used that Lowrey home organ in a really original and rare way
on that song I confuse with the other one.
His use of the EMS Synthi / vcs3 is impressive to many of us synthi wonks.
His Arp work emulating orchesteral beds (not the leads and ordinary
stuff) is again impressive.
