Re: Here's something you don't see every day

Today I had a special visitor. Karen and I were delighted to
have Jerry Korb stop by for a few hours to visit. We has a chance to talk
Mellotrons and to fool around a bit with the 4-Track. Jerry also got a chance to
see a M4000 for the very first time. We noshed a bit and knocked back some
refreshing Diet Pepsi. Jerry shared a very touching video that was a
memorial to his mother. She seemed like a wonderful woman. Jerry informed us
that he is the last of his kind.
I told Jerry that if he dies before I do, I want to
collect him. Can you
imagine how great it would be to have Jerry in my collection of Mellotron
stuff? ...Ok, I was just kidding about that part.
I had a great time hanging with Jerry. He's a hell of a nice
guy and Karen and I are hoping that he and Mali will come visit us for a few
days in the summer.
Karen, Jerry and Bear
in the kitchen. Bear instantly wondered if Jerry had any
food.

I
want Jerry to bring his table saw and his soldering iron and move in
with us. (With his wife, of course)
Between us we make a pretty good Mellotron repairman.
