The Mellotron Group

It's like asking an artist to repaint a great painting.. I passed on the  
opportunity to listen to it. As for Dave Cousins, I have a feeling that he's 
had  a hard time adjusting to the fact that he's not a big rock star 
anymore.... My  wife, having met him an two occasions, thinks he's a complete  
asshole. There have been times when I would agree with her, however the  last 
time I spoke to him he was a lot mellower than in some previous  
conversations. The rest of the guys are great to work with and to hang out  with.
 
Having seen the Strawbs a number of times in various iterations since 2004, 
 I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every one of their performances. 
Dave's  voice may not be what it once was, but he still puts  a lot of effort 
into  his shows and he and his band mates are all superb musicians.

Sorry guys, my last post to Martin should have gone as an email. 
 
For what it's worth, the CD in question is the rather unfortunate (IMO)  
recent re-working of the Strawbs classic "Hero and Heroine" by the  current 
lineup. I gave him my copy in the hope that he will like it and not  send it 
back!
 
Oh dear!

To be truthful, John did the cabinet refit, I was just the delivery boy  
and tweaker of the settings!


Best,
