MONEYPIT April 2005 & more
2005-05-10 by Ken Leonard
Hello everyone! MONEYPITs have started for 2005. That's Mellotron Owners of New England (at this point it may as well be "Mellotron Owners of Nearly Everywhere"), a.k.a. Mellotron Owners Needing Excessive Yen for Purchases for Improving their 'Trons. We had a banner year last year, and this year it is starting out a treat. Photos and the trip report are up for "MONEYPIT April 2005." The spot was (again!) Vermont, home of Mellotron Professor Jerry Korb. Two highlights for this MONEYPIT: - Jimmy Moore's FX Console #10006 (a.k.a. "The Mooatron") has been mechanically restored to top-notch working condition and refinished beautifully by Mr. Korb. http://www.kleonard.com/mellotron/vt0405/index.htm - Mellotronists Ken Leonard, Jimmy Moore, and Brad Schuman have the privelege of introducing "Improvised Waves: Mellotron and synthesizer improvisations," recorded over Christmas Week 2004. Fans of the Mellotron and classic electronic might find the headphone journey irresistible! (Where the hell do I come up with those awful marketspeak tag lines??!!?? :-) ) http://www.kleonard.com/kltunes/improvisedwaves.htm Good stuff, more to come this year! Enjoy! ...kl... http://www.kleonard.com M400 #805 - not involved this time M400 #1037 - shunned again
