I was just catching up on the Wilson-Opeth connection in the latest issue 
of Progression.  Who knew?  But isn't it really Opeth with special guest 
Steven Wilson (instead of the other way around)?

Also in that issue, there is a letter to the editor extolling the virtues 
of the mellotron in progressive rock.  The editor replies saying "... 
regarding the Moody Blues and the mellotron: Apparently there is a 
mellotron museum somewhere here in New England that might make a good 
feature; I'll have to look into that."

What museum?  And can they loan one to Rob for NEARfest?  :-)

Wow...My aging collection finally got some press!  ;-)

Unless they're referring to New England Synth Museum - 
http://www.synthmuseum.com/nesm.  It's in Nashua, NH - not far from 
where I live.  Yeah, that's probably it.
