The Mellotron Group

I think Jerry looks great. Like me, he's getting a little creaky as he gets 
 older. I'm older than he is, though.
 
Jerry just has had too much going on in his life and no time to work on  
Mellotrons He and his mom were very close. I truly think that he was  
broken-hearted when she passed away. It is obvious when you meet Jerry that  he is a 
very loving person. With the passing of his mother, Jerry became to sole  
surviving member of his entire family. That's a tough burden. 
 
To be honest, we really spent time just visiting and also trying to figure  
out how to watch a DVD on my computer. We didn't really spend too much time 
 on his future in Mellotron restoration. I asked him if he might come  back 
to it and he was noncommittal. I don't think his heart is in it right now.  
I don't really know Jerry very well, but I'd like to. I wish we lived 
closer to  each other. Sadly, Vermont is a long way from Virginia. It would be 
fun to work  together on a project. 
 
Jerry and I discussed some issues I'm having sorting out the 4-track and  
both agreed on where the solution was. He was pretty surprised to learn that 
it  was serial #1. I showed him my shop and my James Brown singing doll. He 
took a  look at the cabinet for 1541 and agreed that is the worst one either 
of us have  ever seen. I have a lot of Mellotron parts and miscellaneous 
crap. I'm betting  he has even more.
 
I have no interest in taxidermy. I do have an interest in Mellotron related 
 stuff. Beyond his Mellotron knowledge, as the last remaining Korb, Jerry 
is  eminently collectible. ;-)

Thanks for sharing, Frank.  Jerry's looking younger than the last  photos I 
saw of him.  
Out of curiosity, did he comment at all on why he was hanging up the  
mellotron mantle?   In regards to Korb collecting, just don't tell us  that your 
new hobby is taxidermy.
