The Mellotron Group

Florida blows dog for the most part, I'm from Illinois and moved here in 75 for Universiy.
I have MS and the heat keeps me in constant pain, but I can drive my exotics here year round ans I do not like California at all.
Have had my Mellotron #510 since 75 also.

          Ok, now it's time to tell us who you are and where you live. I am Frank Stickle and I live in Virginia.

          So do you own a Mellotron? Would you like to own one? Some people think samples are great. To me they have their place, but it would be kind of like riding around on a Suzuki with big stereo speakers blasting out the sound of a Harley motor and telling everyone you come across that it's just as good as a real Harley.

          How's that for an analogy? Thank you! Thank you very much Ladies and Gentleman!

                    Pretty much everyone here loved Woolly. He was well known to all of us, known well by some of us and the best friend to one of us.

                    He will be missed.

                    Welcome to the group.

                    Frank
