The Mellotron Group

Anyone who comes to visit can play all the Mellotrons I have at the  time.

Fortunately, I recently got as close to a Mellotron as you can  get.
Including one of the great ones.
 
Thanks Frank.

Sadly, Robert, you weren't close to a real 400 lat night either.  It's a 
keyboard controller inside a Mellotron shaped cabinet. I know  this, because 
I've seen it up close and I know that they don't use a  real one. I think 
Pierre Vielleux  was probably the only  member/keys player in TMB who actually 
used one on stage.

Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing The Musical Box  perform "The Lamb 
Lies Down On Broadway" at The Seminole Hard Rock  in Hollywood, Florida.


They were fantastic and paid great attention to detail in  every respect; 
the sound was great too!


Any of you "guys" who like the Gabriel era Genesis who  have never seen The 
Musical Box perform before, I highly recommend  you check them out.


For their encore, they played "The Musical Box" and  "Watcher of the 
Skies".  By then, several of the other concert  goers who had the better seats on 
the floor area near the center had  left, so I had the opportunity to see 
them up close.    Their keyboardist had a beautiful black M400 Mellotron and 
it  sounded wonderful to my ears.  An RMI Electric Piano was  sitting on top 
of the Mellotron and another keyboard was sitting on  top of the RMI.  He 
also had an organ that I "think" was a  Hammond, but it was not a B3 and I 
don't believe it was a C3  or  A100 either.  There was a Leslie speaker sitting 
on  the far right of the stage.



I don't remember ever being in such close proximity  (approximately 20 
feet) to a real Mellotron in all my life; what a  thrill it was !


Cheers,



Robert
