The Mellotron Group

Hey all! new to this group, but I'm glad I found it.
I'm a tron freak, though I no longer own #917 : (

Well now, that's a bright start for the morning!
I'm in Massachusettes. I bought an M400sm from a guy in 1996 or 7. It was in great shape, however it was painted a faux walnut. 1st I removed all that, then I painted it Crimson Red. Then I removed that and painted it White. : )
This hurts very much to say; I had to sell it in order to buy a piece of crap car.....
This was in 2003..I think. I wasn't in a band at that time and it was not being played. Any way , I did manage to record an album with it. In 1998 I released "The Gathering of The Krums" by Pye Fyte. I will own another m400..............

In fact, we have lots of Johns here. I've just had my 4th cup and need to go to the John. I must be off.

Clay,

Have we reached our limit of "Johns", or does the, "there's never a John around when you need one" clause still apply?

Very Interesting Chris! I will be listening to the album today.
No surprise they made their own tapes as well!
Do you have pics posted here?
I met the two of them several years back. Joe is a nice guy. He was actually standing in the audience when I spoke with him. He had decided that the tour needed a more authentic Jazz pianist and they hired some other guy to do the tour.
Excellent musicians both Gino and Joe.

You guys are right in that Blues is certainly limiting; we’ve all heard the same turnarounds a million times. I just like what some guitar players can do with a Strat and a Fender Twin and no effects.

I've never liked the blues either.

It has merit to some people, but not to me.

Quite right Mike,

It is the foundation of most rock music and while it can be repetitive the art is in how it’s played and the individual

personality projected by the player. Yes, blues jams can be boring at times but I think there’s more there that meets

Listen to David Gilmour or Jimi Hendrix…..I certainly hear the blue’s influence there…….

I've listened to blues, played at many blues jams and respect the blues, however it's a flavor i just don't like. I like lots of garlic though!

It's hard to tell, because he doesn't really show very important detail in his photos, but it looks like an old motor control card that you'd want to replace, and like the low noise mod hasn't been done on the power supply.

You might want to ask what the serial number is.

Speaking of thread titles, this is John #9 (or is it 10? I lost count J )
