The Mellotron Group

Yep.

One of my favorites.warts and all.

 

I had a young neighbor that had a house full of keyboards inc. a big B-3with
two leslies in his living room, a clavinet and a rhodes EP, and he loved
Martin Medeski and Wood. 

He grew up after the "Prog rock" thing.he was more into jazz and blues ..I
couldn't believe he didn't know what a Mellotron was.

I used this video to show him what that distinctive sound was, and he really
dug it.

 

We drove toWashington DC to see MM& W and they had a M400.we actually got on
stage to check it out.

He's been itching to get one since.

Then at the end, Justin gives him a dirty look and Ray says something to
him.... Wow...

Starting 4:00 it is obvious that they no idea how to end this song. 
Mike tries to end it one chorus too early, then recovers... then he 
does it again and they all just back off their mikes and recover.
