Mellotronists

Dear All,
 
John's Uncle Norman, the last of the Bradley bothers died this  afternoon at 
the tender age of 84.  He had suffered as stroke a couple of  weeks back and 
was hospital bound as a result.  Norman also had Parkinson's  Disease and the 
future looked a little bleak.
 
He was a gentle chap, always the gentleman and also the naughty uncle that  
used to whisk John off for some beer at lunchtimes back in the heady days of 
the  Streetly factory.  He was excited about the upsurge in mellotron activity  
and we were looking forward to showing him the M4000.  Ah well....not to  be.  
I met him only once but we had a couple of conversations by  phone over the 
years.  He was a nice bloke. 
 
Best,
 
Martin

Sad day Martin. Give my best wishes  to JB at this difficult time.  Shame 
Norman didn't get to see the m4000
I'm sure he would have been proud.
Cheers.
