your choice.
i won't put the wear and tear of humping it down 2 flights
of stairs, loading it into... oh wait - i need to rent a van,
then humping it down 4 flights of stairs at the station,
playing for an hour [and not using the mellotron for every
moment of that], then doing that all in reverse at 4:00 am.
my serial is 364 - one of the older ones still around, and
i feel every ding, every nick, every scratch VERY deeply.
it's in amazingly good shape - better than any other i have
seen in person for an m400. i guess is could bring the other
that's here, but it's not mine and who is going to do all
the carrying at that hour?

i'll drag it downtown for the RMI guys to use when they
are in town - happy to do it, but for me to go through
all that for a performance it takes me longer to get to
than i'll actually be playing for? nope. it's for a radio
show at 2:00 am that probably 20 people will hear.

Well, you could drop by my house on the way and get mine. A couple of
steps and you could stick it in my garage on the way back.

Getting yours out of your little studio is like doing a snake dance.

I think the best most of us can do is "the ancient Chinese secret." (Calgon
in American)

I used to speak Mandarin when I was little. Forgot it all after we
moved back to the states in '65.

That's the time to learn. I've been studying for more than 5 years now
and my brain cells are so dried up that I forget what I learned
immediately after learning it.
