Hi Clay,
Like the photo on the home page, is that tron nuclear
powered?

It's my MkII FX Console with the lid off and Mssr. Ian McDonald playing it -- the first time he'd played one since leaving King Crimson. His response: "Now I remember why I really didn't like them, but this one is quite nice." The room was bombarded with negative ions just as the photo was taken (Tronto MkII Symposium).

One of the above statements is not true. Can you spot it?

I told you once, I told you a thousand times - Time Travel was an
unexpected by-product of the Turbo Incabulator in the sweeper circuit.

Actually I think you will find it's a problem with the
fluid link, the Doctor has probably removed the
mercury again.

Weirdly, Ian also managed to name not only the location and date on
which he last played one, but the approximate time as well, being the
end of the last King Crimson Mk I concert.

Legend also attests that when the original KC members met up at the
Hotel Intercontinental in London for the 'Epitaph' playback Ian blurted
out an apology for breaking the original band up.

To say that Ian had 'unresolved issues' is an understatement of some
measure.

I think it is the first phrase..."...It's my Mk II FX console..."
