Mellotronists

It's getting a little scary out there...
This list is a wonderful thing, and although it
has become a tad dysfunctional as of late, it still
is. Don, you work cut out for you and I thank you for
providing your services to the list and making it all
possible. That said, I neither agree or disagree with
either party as foundation of the argument is somewhat
absurd to begun with and has escalated into something
that SEEMS important. It's really not, when you look
at the big picture. Can we just let it all go, agree
to disagree?
I honestly don't know what I'd do without this list
and it's extremely learned community. Lets remember
the reason we're here: Our cantankerous and fickle
Mellotrons, which need this list most of all.
Won't somebody please think of the children?!?

That's my two cents.

Hi folks,

Been away for a few days.. Stuck in the studio in Birmingham's November cold with an overheating soldering iron, miles of cable and some bargain ex-BBC patchbays. The sort of thing that can turn a man strange. Dozens of messages, took me ages to get to the most recent. Nice jolly debate regarding Yes lyrics, some new arrivals, usual sort of thing.

And I finally get to all THIS bickering. Thought I'd stick my oar in seeing as I'm mentioned ( Memotrons/Twattery etc..).

I've never heard such bollocks in my life. And this coming from a chap with far too many Wakeman solo albums.

Just GET OVER IT. No-one's about to wade in with cricket bats, you're all grown-ups now.

Incidentally, I genuinely couldn't be bothered to pass comment on the Vince Gallo thing of a while ago, rather disappointingly the guy came across as a nasty piece of work, don't care how many trons he's got. I enjoyed his film 'Buffalo '66' and actually bought one of his CDs once, it was a sack of cack in spite of the presence of some lovely machines. After the EVIL comments he was prepared to make -and essentially PUBLISH- about some of the folks up here ( and their mothers..) I wouldn't piss on the bloke if he was on fire.

Don, you can't kick the Dickson out, he's the life and soul..

Smooth those ruffled feathers, it's all a bit 'tears before bedtime' and somewhat twattish.

BANTER, BICKER, BROUHAHA..

It's only talk.

Love and Scones,

MSW

Looks like it might be too late?

Don is there any chance of getting Mike back on the
list or are we going to be stuck with posting on 2
lists?

Personally I would like there just to be one list
maybe with people taking it in turns to moderate and
perhaps with an agreed guideline as to what is and
isn't acceptable beahviour.

Colin,
that's where he makes the wine.

PS - Night Train is the way to go. Twice the punch at half the price,
and a nicer screw top too.
