I have asked the seller of the Chamby 300 to prove its provenance. I don't think he can.
I have listened to those Bobby Darin songs over and over and I can't hear it. (he rocks!)
To all of you, did I fail to mention that Leonid Breszhnev played my Mellotron? So did Armand Hammer and Tolstoy... Even after he was dead. And did I fail to mention that it was in the same studio where Soupy Sales' cousin recorded, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Freight Train?"
Captain Kangaroo... He played my Mellotron... With Bunny Rabbit. They pushed it over in front of Grandfather Clock (Mr. Moose helped) It was great! They used 16 violins to play the dirge after Mr. Greenjeans overdosed on heroin. ( Who could have blamed him when he realized that Captain Kangaroo was the pinnacle of his career).
So it goes.

So did Armand Hammer
---wow! The baking soda dude played your 'tron? I bet he left it smelling fresh, too!
They used 16 violins to play the dirge after Mr. Greenjeans overdosed on heroin. ( Who could have blamed him when he realized that Captain Kangaroo was the pinnacle of his career).
---and that Frank Zappa was his son...

If you can provide either carrots or ping pong balls for provenance,
I'll buy the thing...
