Hi Folks- 

I've never said hello either. I suppose I should so, "hello"!

Are you saying: "I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello"? ;-)

Sorry, I've been watching that Beatles Anthology DVD set... still have 
their songs going through my head.  But the DVDs - amazing videos and 
production!  It should be required viewing for any rock musician.  There 
is one part where sir Paul sits down in front of an Mark II (i think) and 
says "this... is a Mellotron."  Then proceeds to play the intro to 
Strawberry Fields aptly demonstrating the pitch bending capabilities.  I 
also heard a really interesting mix of SF with tron brass instead of the 
traditional flutes.

There are many times when I felt like saying good-bye to this Group. 
Many times indeed. But each time, it would have to be equalled by 
saying "Hello" when I returned. After all, I would only head out for 
a short time to socialise or to the corner grocery for a bottle of 
milk. I know that sounds less than courteous, but why waste 
bandwidth on hellos and goodbyes, at least from me, everytime the 
door at my place swings open and shut. I truly don't venture out 
very far for long. Honest.

np: French, Frith, Kaiser, Thompson, Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, 
Dewey, Cheatham & Howe.

IIRC it was a Mark V (a dual M400)---he played the "Strawberry" intro and 
then turned down the pitch control.  Wasn't that the one that Mike Oldfield 
bought at the Abbey Road fire sale for some really short dosh and sold back 
to Paul at some really much more dosh?  And didn't Martin/JB mention they 
were over at Paul's house at one point working on it?

Anyway, the original "Strawberry" intro would have been played on a Mark 
II, not the Mark V (which didn't exist back then).

...kl...M400 #805 - also probed by Martin/JB...ooo, that tickles!
