...for adding such great sounds to the Mellotron library. The French Horn, Clarinet-B, Angry Strings and Chamber Woodwinds sound great! French Horn mixes well with Clarinet-B and Clarinet-B mixes well with Chamber Woodwinds. Angry Strings is excellent by itself.

I like mixing sad strings and angry strings, which gives you "Deeply  
Troubled" strings.
On the 4-track, you can play any combination of 4 sounds. I like to mix Sad 
 Strings, Angry Strings and Dickstrings, which gives you "Sad and Angry 
Dick  Strings," which, oddly enough, is entirely unsuitable for Prog.
 
Sorry... couldn't resist.

Glad they agree with you Bernie.  I love Rick's sounds as well.  Can't wait till I can get another rack with them.

Hey Jim!
 
Antonio and I have rebuilt the engine in the Piper cub. I'm going out to  
Frank's tomorrow to replace the ignition switch and then we're ready to test 
fly  it. This week I'm stripping and prepping the cabinet for the 'Wasted 
Days' Tron  and hope to have it ready for paint by the first of next week.
 
Come up and visit.

Shouldn't mixing Sad Strings and Angry Strings give you a blunted affect?

blunted affect
   1. a disturbance in mood seen in schizophrenic patients manifested by shallowness and a severe reduction in the expression of feeling.
