Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Mr. VG....
I hate to be getting my hands dirty by bringing this up, but.....
I feel that recent postings by VGFA or VGSP or whomever are simply
inappropriate. Personally I'm not wild about having to sift through this
brand of unpleasantness to get to real Mellotron matters. It lessens us
all.
Granted, the real VG has had his moments of aggression here at the
group. But reading that he has a legitimate Mellotron querie and then to
find him debased in such a way has me thinking.....whatever the issue with VG,
it's no fault of his Mellotron, which appears to be in need of a part or
two.
It takes me back many years to the infamous Mellotron Wars. Not to
dredge that up, but as I recall, the needs of the few existing Mellotrons and
the talent of all involved brought about an agreeable end to the
mudslinging. More working and restored trons seemed to be the salve for
the wound, not to mention a healthy competition that brought about newly and
brilliantly innovated units.
Let's let bygones be, shall we? Helping to fix the existing
Mellotrons of whomever owns them only means that, when and if they sell them,
that they are working. Who knows? The Mellotron that you help
somebody to fix up today, may be the one you own in the future.
Just putting that out there.
