Greetings All,   This year of 2003 marks "pun intended"
the 40th Anniversary birthday of Mellotron. In 1963
the Mark-I was introduced and changed the musical
world forever. Thanks to "Les Trois Freres Bradley" !!

I found mfg.labels/dates inside MK-I/124 of Nov-63,
so Julia celebrates her 40th B-day this month.
She looks beautiful for a lady having just reached
her prime years of middle-age.

Cheers, JK (no tummy-tuck desired, and NO boob job !)
