Well...I think you DID come to the right place,  and you were talking to
someone  - that - just - might - be - able - to - help - on that one.

But,  there is still time.

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
