The Mellotron Group

Tom,

A friend turned me on to Cathedral a while back. I don't know how I
ever missed you guys way back when (although the name sounds
familiar), but better late than never. As an unashamed fan of many of
the bands that are so reviled here, I must say I enjoy Cathedral's
music. I see you have 2 albums (a.k.a. CDs) on cdbaby.com. I don't
know why I hadn't ordered them yet as I had been planning to since I
found out about Cathedral, but they are now on their way to me.
Looking forward to hearing how they sound on my ancient JBL-based
stereo.

Bernie
